Vintage Embossed Copper Wall Decoration of the Portrait of an Armenian Woman and a Deer, Armenian Woman, Chekanka
Antique vintage embossed copper wall decoration made in Armenia in the Soviet era 1970s or even early in the 1960s which evokes the picture of an Armenian woman with a deer with the summer in the background.
The Armenian chekanka became a novel and popular format through which the “national” imaginary could manifest and categorize itself. Cost-effective and quick to produce, the medium was embraced by the entire spectrum of the creative industries – from amateur and professional artists, craftsmen and architects to product designers. By the 1980s, the chekanka was, in effect, the most visible and ubiquitous form of decorative art in Armenia and the imagination overflowing with ideas. Besides the walls of ordinary households, it also decorated most cafes, shops, administrative buildings and had a dedicated store in the center of Yerevan.
