Armenian Miniatures


These gorgeous miniatures are from the book 'The Crafts and Mode of Life in Armenian Miniatures' by Astghik Guevorkian. The miniatures are from manuscripts dating back to as early as 1038AD. For example the girl dancing in the top middle miniature is dated 1725-1730.

The miniatures here are from 'The art of dancing' page.
