ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Two layers of a non-figural painted decoration have been fragmentarily preserved in the church of Karşıbecak at Avçilar (Matiane). The symbol of the cross holds a prominent position in the program, referring to the redemptive sacrifice of Christ. The choice and the arrangement of the decorative motives place the church within the “Graeco-oriental” school (7th – early 8th century). The dedicatory inscriptions of the church bear witness to the intellectual level of the donors. |
