Handmade Traditional Leafy Cross Tuff Stone Stela Sculpture, "The Kingdom's Faith"

Intricate details tell the ancient story of the region's faith and arts. Armenian artisan Miqayel Nalbandyan works long hours to imitate the mystic style of the khachkar or stela sculpture found on the Akdamar Island, working on tuff stone to recreate the cross and floral motifs that embellish this magnificent homage to his heritage.
