Description<\/h4>\n

Chancel<\/h6>\n

The travertine stones used in the framing of the chancel window are alternately painted red, ignoring the edges, which makes an impression of a \u2018fan-like\u2019 ornament. Similar red color is fragmentarily identified on the surfaces of the stones fallen inside the chancel in a later period and which had not been covered with binding solution.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aisle<\/h6>\n

As a consequence of the later period plaster coming off, in the lower section of the south wall<\/strong> surfaces of the stones that are not covered with binding solution exhibit fragments of red paint; given this fact, it is presumable that the whole interior of the church was decorated by this artistic means.<\/p>\n

Trace of later-period alteration can be observed on the pair of windows arranged in the south wall; however, taking the decorative ornamentation of the window aperture of the chancel, it can be assumed that these two windows, too, had been embellished by alternation of red \u2018fan-like\u2019 lines.<\/p>\n

The travertine stones used in the framing of the arch of the door arranged in the west wall<\/strong> (during the later-period reconstruction it was blocked up and turned into a niche) were also alternately painted red which creates a \u2018fan-like\u2019 image.<\/p>\n\n
