Khachkar
Хачкар, автор Меликсет · Խաչքար, կազմող` Մելիքսեթ
This khachkar (carved cross-stone), made by an artist named Melikset, stands in the town of Charentsavan in Kotayk region. Khachkars are stone slabs carved with a cross as memorial markers, and this one carries its maker's name as its identifying detail.
Beyond the sculptor's name, little else is recorded about this particular stone — no date, no dedication, just the carving itself standing in the town.
Charentsavan sits in Kotayk region, about 34 km north-northeast of Yerevan in a straight line.
