The intricate circular mandala design featured on the back of these t-shirts incorporates traditional Armenian design elements, centered around a sacred cross motif intertwined with the Armenian letter է ("eh", meaning "is" or "being").
Design Elements
The Central Motif: At the heart of the circular geometric composition is an ornamented cross framing the sacred calligraphic letter է, a prominent symbol in traditional Armenian art and manuscripts representing divine existence and creation.
The Mandala Framework: The central cross is surrounded by concentric bands of symmetrical iconography, drawing inspiration from medieval Armenian stone crosses (khachkars) and illuminated manuscript ornamentation.
The Signature: A subtle artisan signature (Svetlana Karchikyan) is integrated within the inner circular border of the medallion, anchoring the apparel piece in contemporary fine-art fashion.
