About Dhvaja Gerdenî

Dhvaja gerdenîyek e ku dikare bê vekirin da ku bîranînên biçûk tê de bêne parastin. Şêwe ji dhvaja, ku yek ji Heşt Nîşaneyên Pîroz ên Bûdîzmê ye, îlham girtiye, ku nîşana serkeftin û hêza têkoşîna li dijî xerabiyê ye. Gerdenî ji zêrê 18 karat hatiye çêkirin û bi cîlakirina neynikî û hunermendiya kêleka gulokî hatiye xemilandin. Berhem ji du beşên sereke pêk tê: dhvajayek xemilandî û qutîkek girtî. Dhvaja bi hêsanî tê zivirandin da ku ji zincîrê were veqetandin, ku bi vî awayî tiştên wek qîçek por, nivîsarên pîroz an nameyan dikarin tê de bêne danîn. Sêwirana wê ya bertengiya avê rê dide ku ew ji bo demek dirêj were li xwe kirin.
