stone carving, possibly a khachkar (Armenian cross-stone), with a depiction of a standing figure
Momentstone carving, possibly a khachkar (Armenian cross-stone), with a depiction of a standing figure. The figure appears to have animalistic features, possibly a feline head and tail, with human-like body and limbs. The figure is surrounded by intricately carved borders, which include inscriptions in Armenian script. The carving is located in Areni, Armenia, most likely within the Areni-1 cave complex, which has revealed evidence of early wine production and other cultural artifacts. The stone is weathered and damaged with parts of it broken. The image gives the impression of an artifact in situ in a cave environment.
