Amirshat khatchkar in Saint Vardan

Хачкар Амиршати · Խաչքար Ամիրշատի

The Amirshat khachkar (carved cross-stone) rests against the gavit (entrance hall) wall of Saint Vardan church. It's entered in Armenia's state register of immovable history and culture monuments, under entry 9.13/18.1.3 — official recognition, though no further record of its age or carver survives in available sources.

Beyond that listing, little else is documented about this particular stone.

Syunik region, Sisian area: the khachkar sits about 0.5 km west of Angeghakot village, just off the road toward Shaghat, roughly 138 km east-southeast of Yerevan in a straight line.
