Armenian historicians reconstructed arms of Mamikonjan dynasty: double-headed eagle holding an animal in his claws. Reconstruction based on sculptures in village Dsekh (VII c) and other old villages of Armenia. In "Armenian History" of Favstos Buzand (V c) we read about ancient banner of Mamikonjans - red banner with white double-headed eagle holding a bow.
