Images-Allegories in the Medieval Sculpture of Armenia and the South Caucasus
Zaruhi Hakobyan · 2023
Catalogue summary
Iconographic comparison interprets generalized sculpted faces on medieval Armenian and South Caucasian churches as allegories or personifications, distinguishing them from donor portraits through placement and formal features.
Why this matters
The analysis gives a testable interpretation for a recurring but poorly individualized element of Armenian church sculpture and connects it to early Christian visual traditions.
