A Cross Stone

This Khachkar, otherwise known as an Armenian cross, has been hand sculpted from a block of sandstone. The cross has been sculpted with the portraits of an angel and saint, characteristic of medieval Christian Armenian tradition. Additional motifs such as botanical designs, a cross and interlaces have been carved around the cross.
