The Renaissance of Bagratuni

This scarf is a part of our ongoing collection honoring Armenian kings. Ashot the Merciful (953-977) was a powerful Bagratuni king who restored Armenian statehood and ensured a period of stability and prosperity. During his reign, cities developed, administrative structures were reinforced, and numerous churches and fortresses were built, contributing to the rise of Ani as a major urban center and the capital city of the country.
