Carpet with the pattern of a stamp of Cedar IV, produced in 1964 to celebrate the 21st anniversary of Lebanon’s independence. This carpet reproduces the same size as another one, woven in the 20s by more than 400 Armenian girls, and offered to the White House in recognition of the American help to their orphanage in Lebanon. Some reproductions of archival photographs and films documenting the procedure are equally presented.
