Various Aspects of the Image of a Dragon-serpent in Armenian and South-Caucasian Sculpture of the 7th–14th Centuries
Lilit Sh. Mikayelyan · 2021
Catalogue summary
Armenian and South-Caucasian reliefs trace the dragon-serpent from a defeated demonic figure to an astral, apotropaic, and liminal motif on churches, towers, doors, and windows between the seventh and fourteenth centuries.
Why this matters
The iconographic sequence shows Christian adaptation of older symbolism and enables comparison with contemporary Islamic ornament.
