Hello! I just picked up this icon replica, I’m just wondering if anybody knows more specifically what it is or if anybody could provide a translation, thanks!

it’s the Armenian alphabet. The written text on the last image is the first full sentence written in Armenian.

This is the Armenian alphabet displayed in classic fashion – typical to be seen in a school room or as a tourist souvenir.

It’s the alphabet in classical Armenia, Օ & ֆ aren’t present, so this must belong to the church.

Others have replied already, so I’m not saying anything constructive, but my family have the exact same object. Not sure where from, though (probably a present).

Just to add another data point: The letters of the alphabet are arranged in **columns**, not rows. It reads from top to bottom starting at the upper left with “Ա”.
