"There are no random, ill-conceived lines in the monument. From the pedestal ... from basalt blocks and embodying the harsh nature of Armenia, water pours from an overturned bowl. In Armenian folklore, she has always been associated with the idea of life, of power. David's pastoral clothes – the clothes of a man of work, not a warrior – makes us recall the history of Armenia, in which the creative work of the people was so often interrupted by invaders. The need to defend the independence of their homeland forced the peasant, the artisan, the shepherd to take up arms" (https://zen.yandex.ru/media/hayk_media/pochemu-david-sasunskii-iavliaetsia-sivolom-armenii-5d8e03db2fda8600b2d39188) This is the most beautiful monument of a horseman on a horse, which differs from many, but monotonous similar monuments around the world! I've always liked this monument. There is dynamism and power in this genre sculpture - this miracle was definitely created by Great and Talented Masters (sculptor Yervand Kochar and architect Mikael Mazmanyan).
