Vintage Embossed Round Copper Wall Decoration of The Battle of Sardarabad, Wall Hanging Décor, The Sardarabad Memorial

Antique vintage embossed round copper wall decoration made in Armenia in the Soviet era 1970s or even early in the 1960s which evokes the anniversary of the battle of sardarabad in 1918.

The Battle of Sardarabad was a battle of the Caucasus campaign of World War I that took place near Sardarabad, Armenia from 21 to 29 May 1918, between the regular Armenian military units and militia on one side and the Ottoman army that had invaded Eastern Armenia on the other. As Sardarabad is approximately 40 kilometres west of the capital of Yerevan, the battle not only halted the Ottoman advance into the rest of Armenia, but also prevented the complete destruction of the Armenian nation. In the words of Christopher J. Walker, had the Armenians lost this battle, it is perfectly possible that the word Armenia would have henceforth denoted only an antique geographical term.
