These are sculptures created by sculptors in Vanadzor. There were a couple of good ones and a few quite untalented ones including one depicting a gay cowboy playing a flute, and another one depicting a family or something whose faces looked like owl faces.
The owl faced family sculpture has been placed near the pedagogical institute. I don't know where the gay cowboy and the others have been placed.
The best one was a fish. Unfortunately, it was dstroyed by sledgehammers one night. I suspect it was a jealous sculptor.
These sculptures (the commissions and the tufa blocks) were sponsored by two brothers who were originally from Vanadzor but now live in Los Angeles.

I now regret not having taken close-ups. At the time I didn't think it would be worth it but in retrospect, it would be nice to post them on my blog.
