Stone sculptures of horses and sheep in the Caucasian States information
Stone sculpture of sheep from Nakchivan, related to the 16th century. Is kept in Azerbaijan State Museum of History[1]
Stone sculptures of horses and sheep[2] – are zoomorphic headstones,[3] spread in the South Caucasus, Eastern Turkey and Iranian Azerbaijan, the main part of which is dated back to the 13th-19th centuries.[4]
Most of the animal sculptures reach considerable sizes. Some of them stand on pedestal. Sculptures made with great artistic mastery and expression are also met with besides schematically and roughly intagliated sheep and horse figures. Backs and sides of horses and sheep are covered with relief pictures of everyday life scenes, besides inscriptions. Inscriptions carved with Arabic script are also frequently found on headstones.[1]
