In Armenian culture, Rose is a generalized name for flowers, symbolizing growth and fertility. This is evidenced by the embroidered floral motifs bearing the name "vard" (rose), which adorn women's headbands, the metal headpieces (վարդ-ծաղիկ) of girls from Vaspurakan and Upper Hayk, and the jewelry that crowns the tassels of women’s fez hats in Shirak-Karin. The presence of floral motifs in women's traditional attire is entirely justified, as women were entrusted with the mission of bearing future generations. Release Date: March 1, 2025
