181662506Armenia, Etchmiadzin, June 7th, 1816. Folio (405 x 245 mm). All edges gilt. Manuscript-leaf in Armenian (Bologir), ink on paper, single column, 35 lines. Double lined margins in fine gold on the left and one on the right. Text in black and red ink, with two finely painted ecclesiastical emblems in colour: Above a seal of the Holy See of Etchmiadzin" A circular seal surrounded by radiant colored lines and a blue border with white stars. In the centre, an image of the Holy Trinity, used in official documents issued by the Catholicos of All Armenians. Above the All-Seeing Eye in a Triangle, an eye within a triangle, radiating light (stylized with golden rays and dots). This is a widespread Christian and Masonic symbol often called the Eye of Providence or All-Seeing Eye. In Armenian religious iconography, it symbolizes God the Father watching over creation Holy Trinity (the triangle suggests the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). This symbol is frequently seen in Armenian Church manuscripts, seals and ecclesiastical documents, particularly from the 18th–19th centuries, often influenced by Enlightenment-era Christian art. Folded. Minor wear at edges, a few tiny holes, overall very well preserved.
