Vintage Embossed Copper Wall Decoration of the Portrait of an Armenian Woman and a Candle, Armenian Woman, The Princess Parvana Legend, 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 the princess Parvana with a candle and holding a fruit in her hand. There is writing on the chekanka.
King Parvana had a daughter, an unworldly girl of incomparable beauty. At his request, the king invites all the daredevils of the Caucasus to try their strength and grace in the presence of a girl to see which of them can be worthy of his daughter's love. The girl, however, does not consider the agility competition to be the right way to find and choose a young man who sincerely loves her.
The daredevils who came to the competition offered the girl "treasure, gold, silver, precious stones and jewels." But the girl does not accept any such conditions. She demands from his future spouse to find and bring the unquenchable flame of love; in order to fulfill that condition, the daredevils fly to the four corners of the world to look for and bring it. The girl waits with longing, but no dare can bring the unquenchable flame of happy love.
After waiting so long, the girl's hope fades, she begins to cry, from her tears a lake forms, which covers the city and the castle. It is the famous Parvana Lake in the Javakhk region of Georgia. And the daredevils looking for the unquenchable flame turn into butterflies, and to this day, seeing the fire, they jump into it to take it to the beautiful Parvana, but they are immediately destroyed.
