              Four rubbings of the inscription on the Nestorian (Xi'an) Stele, China. This Tang Chinese stele, erected in 781, documents 150 years of early Christianity in China. It is a limestone block 279 centimetres (9 ft 2 in) high with text in both Chinese and Syriac describing the existence of Christian communities in several cities in northern China. The four rubbngs are of:

              • Heading - 40 x 40 cm
              • Facing front side - 200 x 90 cm
              • Left side thickness of the stone - 200 x 30 cm
              • Right side thickness of the stone - 200 x 30 cm

              With the rubbings is an explanation of them sent by Jacob Ghazarian.
