Oshki[8][9][10] (Georgian: ოშკი Oshki; Turkish: Öşkvank Manastırı or Oşki Manastırı) is a Georgian Eastern Orthodox monastery[1][2][3][4][5][6][11][12][13][excessive citations] from the second half of the 10th century located in the historic province of Tao, now part of the territory of Turkey.

[14] The monastery is considered "one of the largest and architecturally most complex buildings produced anywhere in the Eastern Christian world.

The eagle with an animal in his talons probably symbolises victory, and the whole sculptural composition the triumph of the heavenly forces represented by the archangels Michael and Gabriel.

In the province of Tao the power lay in the hands of the ruling dynasty of the Bagrationi, whose members Bagrat eristavt-eristavi and David Magistros are depicted lower down on the same facade, near the deesis, to show that the heavenly forces were the family's patrons.

The first scientist who explored this inscription was Marie-Félicité Brosset, a French orientalist who specialized in Georgian and Armenian studies.

It mentions the names of Ktetors of the church – Georgian kings Bagrat Eristavt-Eristavi and David III of Tao.
