Koren Der Harootian

Eagles of Ararat
1956

A stone sculpture of a winged creature, possibly a mythical being or an angel, is displayed on a white pedestal against a plain background. The figure has one large, detailed wing extended upwards, while the other is not visible, suggesting it might be broken or tucked away. The creature's head is bowed down in a contemplative or sorrowful pose.
