Brave Nazar Vintage Embossed Copper Enamel Wall Decoration
This rare and evocative wall piece is a handcrafted tribute to Brave Nazar, the satirical fairy tale penned in 1912 by Armenia’s beloved poet Hovhannes Tumanyan. Produced in Armenia during the Soviet era—likely in the 1970s or 1980s—it captures the spirit of Tumanyan’s storytelling through the medium of embossed copper and enamel, a technique known locally as chekanka.
Material: Embossed copper with enamel detailing, mounted on wood
Dimensions: Approximately 38.5 cm x 27 cm
Origin: Handmade in Soviet Armenia
Era: Late 20th century (1970s–1980s)
The artwork depicts a stylized scene from Brave Nazar, a tale of a timid man who, through a series of ironic twists, is mistaken for a hero and rises to prominence. The story’s themes of fate, perception, and courage are subtly echoed in the bold lines and rich textures of the metalwork.
This piece is more than decorative—it’s a cultural artifact. It bridges literature and visual art, Soviet craftsmanship and Armenian folklore. Its rarity and historical context make it a prized collectible, especially for those who appreciate the intersection of narrative and design.
