Khachkars

Goshavank monastery (Nor Getik) in northeastern Armenia's Tavush region developed a distinct khachkar school from the late 12th century, associated with the scholar Mkhitar Gosh who founded the monastery circa 1188. The school's iconographic conventions — specific border proportions and interlacing densities — are documented in Donabédian's regional typology.
