at 10:25 same the Karatchov large medallion carpet on the wall is typical of the works of art of textile art which has been produced by Armenian Villageous person in the 19th century.

By the way is the title of these new galleries Islamic Art ... well chosen ? several works of art as the Bidri or the following miniature from different religion than the Islamic one. I deeply respect Islam, but as weel I deeply respect, too, historical truth. What do you do with Zoroastrian works of Art ?

at 1:20 The bas-relief is for sure either Armenian origin either from an Armenian model of bas relief (two fishes = christianity) + the 2 birds with human figures are exactly those which are communly figured on Armenian Gospels + the Grenade tree which used to be a symbol or symbolic motive of Armenian Royal or Prince families. The Grenade is even today one of the most familiar symbols of Armenia.
