Description
1980 y․

During the eighties of this century the local authorities established an open air museum in the central part of Aghdam (near the stadium) where they collected the antiquities brought here from the various sites of the district, including a fine khachkar of the XII-XIV cent, made of white limestone, which was taken here from Vankasar. The khachkar is still preserved, though its edges are broken. Its dimensions are 136x80 cm.

In 1986 it was in situ, near the church of Vankasar, in the ruined cemetery; see S. Karapetian, "Tracing One Khachkar", "Azatamart", 1994, N 47, p. 14.
