The Khachkar is a memorial stone, unique to Armenia. It is a free standing, upright, rectangular stone slab that is elaborately carved in deep bas relief. They first appeared in the 9th Century AD. Often the cross is shown entwined with elaborate interlace carvings, suggesting the Tree of Life with its sinuous strands, accompanied by flowers and leaves. Khachkars were also erected on different occasions to mark a military victory, to commemorate an event of historical significance or to dedicate the conclusion of the construction of churches, fountains, bridges and other structures.
Khachkars were also affixed to the walls of numerous churches. Khachkars are valuable for their inscriptions that often contain important historical information associated with the history of the Armenian people.
Khachkars constitute an integral dimension of Armenian Sculptural art: with their high artistic standards and strong national character, they are an expression of the Christian faith and high esthetic taste of the culture of the Armenian people and as such occupy a worthy position in the treasury of international art.
