In the tradition of the Armenian Church, Khachkar (Armenian խաչքար, transliterated Xač'k'ar, "cross stone") is an elaborately carved memorial stone with a relief cross in the center surrounded by geometric and vegetal motifs. The upright, rectangular stone slabs, up to three meters high, are decorated with bas-reliefs on the front side. They represent one of the central cultural symbols of the Armenians.

The special thing about this centuries-old Khachkar is the face of the master stonemason in the central rosette of the Khachkar!
