"The lion and the lamb shall lay together" is prophesized by Isaiah the Prophet in his talking about the coming of the Messiah when peace with reign the Earth. This yet-to-come Golden Age or "Millennium" is spoken of as "Paradise Regained"; an age on Earth when there will be no death, sorrow, pain or sickness. The actual prophecy speaks of other animals but the lion and the lamb became the figure of this peace prophecy. The prophecy says the following: "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,/and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,/and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;/and a little child shall lead them" Isaiah 11:6

Note: Armenian ceramics are delicate and should be treated with care. Each piece is individually hand made with the ancient skill of mixing and shaping clay and water and then placing the object in an oven or kiln at a temperature of 1000°C until it hardens. The piece is then beautifully hand painted with metallic and oxidized paint, maintaining a natural color and then placed again in the oven at the same temperature. The finishing touch is one of fine glazing.
