| Abstract | The DiKEViMA project [1] seeks to develop a virtual khachkar museum with the aid of engaged volunteers. UNESCO [2] describes cross stones as follows: "Khachkars reach [human dimensions of] 1.5 meters in height, and have an ornamentally carved cross in the middle, resting on the symbol of a sun or wheel of eternity, accompanied by vegetative-geometric motifs, carvings of saints and animals. Khachkars are created usually using local stone and carved using chisel, die, sharp pens and hammers." Important resources can be found in the books Armenia sacra [3], l'art des khachkars [4] and the contributions of Patrick Donabédian [5], who helped us work out a historical classification of khachkar styles, periods and locations. |
