Armenian Wooden Pomegranate Hand Carved

Armenian Wooden Pomegranate Hand Carved

There are gifts that decorate a shelf, and gifts that carry a whole culture in their shape. This hand-carved wooden pomegranate is the second kind — the Armenian symbol of abundance, luck and the good life, shaped by hand and smoothed until it sits warm in the palm. Every curve is cut by a carver, not a machine, so the piece you hold is genuinely one of a kind.

It comes in five sizes, from a palm-sized 3.5" / 9 cm to a commanding 9.1" / 23 cm centerpiece — each size photographed exactly as it is. Set one on a bookshelf, gather a few on a windowsill, or let the largest hold the middle of your table. Wherever it stands, this wooden pomegranate quietly says Armenia.

The Pomegranate in Armenian Culture

In Armenia the pomegranate is far more than a fruit. It stands for abundance and prosperity, for marriage and family, for life itself — it appears in Armenian art, carpets, churches and fairy tales, where a single pomegranate feeds a whole village. Giving one carved in wood is an old, beloved way of wishing someone a full and fortunate life.

About the Master — Hrachya Ohanyan

In 1985, National Master Ohanyan began his fine wood craft, introducing a new approach to the age-old traditions of woodworking. After many years of dedication, the Hrachya Ohanyan workshop was established in 2010. The workshop creates Armenian, classic and original models from high-quality raw materials — each piece a work of art admired both locally and internationally.

A hand-carved Armenian pomegranate is a gift that always lands — for housewarmings, weddings, birthdays, or anyone who carries Armenia in their heart.
