Its beech board is carved in one piece and then given a natural beeswax finish. The Church of St. Hripsime is engraved on one side and an Armenian ornament on the other, and our copyrighted outline of Mount Ararat joins them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt. Hripsime belongs to the churches of Etchmiadzin listed by UNESCO as World Heritage, along with the cathedral and the archaeological site of Zvartnots. The ornament on the other side draws on the many motifs, types and forms of Armenian decoration. Khor Virap, a monastery on the Ararat plain, stands within sight of the mountain; Hrachya Ohanyan created its outline, which has been part of our work since 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 50 x 50 x 3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Beech wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: Church of St. Hripsime, Armenian ornament, Mount Ararat outline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Natural beeswax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Cast bronze hinges and locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4 kg (5.5 kg packed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Hrachya Ohanyan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 11839\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 playing pieces in beech and walnut wood, each with a velvet-lined base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDice made from billiard balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBranded carry case with wooden handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery set is completely handcrafted and comes with a 25-year guarantee certificate.
