In 2018, it was unearthed from under a layer of soil, cleaned, and re-erected. In 2019, it was documented and measured by the State Service for the Protection of the Historical Environment of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of the Republic of Artsakh.

The arched-top khachkar is carved from brown sandstone. At its center is the main cross, notable for its unusual iconography: the lower vertical and horizontal arms end in paired circular protrusions, while the upper vertical arm ends in paired trefoils. The entire surface of the cross is covered with diagonal hatch patterns. Notably, the palm branches on either side of the cross stem not from its base, but from the paired circular protrusions of the lower vertical arm. At the base of the cross, the traditional rosette is replaced by a very small circular spiral motif, which continues into a short stem ending in another circular, cross-bearing motif. A similar design appears above the vertical arm of the cross, at the center. To the right and left of this element extend a pair of spiraling vine branches, each bearing a large bunch of grapes that descend toward the center of the cross. Between the paired circular protrusions of the horizontal arms are spherical motifs.

The lower section of the khachkar, on either side of the stem-like cross base, contains carvings of special interest. On the right, moving outward from the center of the khachkar, is a large horseman. According to tradition, the deceased is depicted here, but the relief differs from known parallels. Although the details of the high relief are not numerous, the horse’s bridle is clearly visible, held in the deceased’s left hand, while his right hand appears to whip the animal. Notably, the deceased rides not an ordinary steed, but a cart horse — suggested by a large wheel visible behind, as well as a strap extending from the horse’s neck along its body¹.

The horseman’s body is shown in profile from the waist down, but from the waist up — especially the head — is depicted frontally. On the left side of the lower section, the composition is completed by another small cross with a pointed stem. The central composition is framed on both sides by a braided ornamental band.

In 2019, the State Service for the Protection of the Historical Environment of the Republic of Artsakh carried out field studies in the area of the monument. The khachkar was measured and recorded.
