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.
