The arevagorg is distinguished by a radiating central motif within a richly patterned dark field. Floral medallions and small bird forms contribute to its luminous visual effect.
An Artsakh example dated to the eighteenth–nineteenth centuries is recorded in the History Museum of Armenia under number 9952. It is one documented expression of this design tradition.
Cross-shaped medallions form a sequence around the radiant centre. Octagonal floral forms, birds and blossoms fill the field, with saturated colours standing out against the darker ground.
