, 2022, one postage stamp dedicated to the theme “Armenian carpets” has been put into circulation.
The first embroidered Armenian postage stamp postage stamp with the nominal value of 3000 AMD depicts a part of the pattern used in "Khndzoresk" carpets.
The postage stamp has a unique format as it is fully embroidered and has a self-adhesive backing. The embroidery edge mimics postage stamp perforation.
The type of "Khndzoresk" carpet belongs to a separate subgroup of dragon carpets. "Khndzoresk" carpet is characterized by an ornament symbolizing eternity (swastika, star, etc.) and eight stylized images of a dragon framing it. This type of a carpet is typical for the carpet-making centers of Artsakh and Syunik.
