Description<\/h4>\n

The second layer of the painting embellished certain parts of the interior. Its fragments have survived on the sub-dome pilasters, the east wall of the north arm and the south wall of the west arm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chancel<\/h6>\n

South and north pilasters of the chancel bema, as well as the south-east corner pilaster of the west arm had frontal figures of holy warriors. Only their fragments have survived. St. George killing Diocletian was depicted on the north-east corner pilaster of the west arm: due to dislocation of the plaster only a fragment has survived: the lower part of the saint\u2019s frontal figure and a small figure of Diocletian depicted at the warrior\u2019s feet can be observed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aisle<\/h6>\n

The north apse <\/strong>on the eastern wall probably had a big-size figure (preserved fragmentarily); it was bordered by a thick, two-sided ornament.<\/p>\n

Fragments of a stylized floral ornament can be identified on the northern corner of the east wall of the bema of the same apse, while a line of circles with eight-petal rosettes and simple cruciform twisted pattern inscribed in them embellished the outer, southern face of the bema.<\/p>\n

An image of a donor, a bearded man, probably a clergyman, can fragmentarily be observed on the left area of a large composition bordered on four sides on the south wall of the west arm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
