The khachkar was erected in 1253 by Snbat and his brothers. From the Soviet era until 2022, it served as a sacred site.

The khachkar is located in the relatively elevated central part of the Khachin Khut [Khachʻin Khutʻ] cemetery. It stands out for its large dimensions (1.73x0.82x0.24), style, iconography, and the 16-line inscription carved on the back of the khachkar: "Թի(վն) ։ՉԲ։ (1253). իշխանո|ւթի․ Հասանա|յ․ ես Սնպատ եւ|եղբարք իմ կա|նկ(ն)եցի զխաչս| բարէխաւս | ա|ռ Ք[րիստո]ս․ ինձ եւ ամ|ուսին իմոյ Կատ|ային․ զոր ետ պա|րոն մեզ հայրեն|իք եւ գերեզմա|նայտեղ․ ՔՍ | աւգնե իւ|ր որդեա|ցն․ Ամ|են" ( In the year 1253, under the rule of Hasanay, I, Snpat, and my brothers erected this intercessory cross before Christ, who gave us a homeland and a place of burial, for myself and my wife Katay. May God help our children. Amen.)¹.

At the center of the composition, beneath a rectangular cross-niche, is a large floral cross, fully adorned with intricate carvings, with triple-bud ends on the arms. From the center of the base of this cross, intertwining branches extend to the right and left, growing upwards and merging with the horizontal arms of the cross, covering the entire intervening field with elegant carvings. Similarly, from the top center of the vertical cross-arm, delicate floral decorations descend, filling the entire field, separated from the cross by a narrow, deep-carved band. Notably, this deep-carved section does not directly follow the outline of the cross but creates a new contour with a new cross design, where the pair of arms" protrusions are circular (similar examples include the khachkars of the Anahit"s Fontaine in the Hats‘i village, khachkar № 7, of Kuchir Shal cemetery in Kʻaraglukh, the khachkar № 2 of the Khachʻin Khutʻ cemetery, as well as the 13th-century khachkars of Vardadzor village).

Below the central cross, in the lower part of the pedestal, is a family relief carving depicting a memorial meal. It likely represents Snpat², mentioned in the inscription, his wife Katay, and their child. Next to the woman"s relief carving is a wine jug, and in the man"s hand is a cup.

The cross-niche is bordered from above and on both sides by an intricately woven decorative band, within which, on the right side, there is another small woven cross-carving.

Principality of Khachen, Armenian Apostolic Church, year 1253.

The khachkar was erected in the 13th century, in the year 1253. Snpat"s grave had become a sort of sanctuary for the locals.

The village was occupied by the Azerbaijani army on March 24, 2022. According to satellite images from 2023, Azerbaijani soldiers have transformed the area of the Khachin Khut [Khachʻin khutʻ] cemetery into a military outpost. Trenches and bunkers have been dug in the area. The fate of the monument is unknown.
