Medieval censer with incense remains unearthed in Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net - An ancient censer with incense remains has been unearthed in Armenia.

The early medieval rock-cut container was one of the 56 archaeological objects discovered in the village of Ohanavan.

The item was cleaned from centuries-old dust in the laboratory of the Service for the Protection of the Historical Environment and Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserves of Armenia.

“The censer was covered with dust, and fortunately specialists worked with the object; when cleaning it, they found incense from the 5th century that smelled very good,” said archaeologist Ashot Piliposyan.

The agency reports that the incense will be studied in order to find out what it is made of.
