Medieval templon with inseparable objects of prostration. A case of Saints Joachim and Anna church in the Studenica Monastery
Abstract
The architecture of templon (stone sanctuary barrier), did not
change significantly during the Middle Ages. Certain changes
can be traced in relation to the position of the representations
of Christ and the Holy Virgin, which are important for understanding
the function of the templon. At the beginning of the
fourteenth century, a rather small church, dedicated to Sai0nts
Joachim and Anna, was built in the Studenica Monastery. The
remains of the marble closure slabs testify to the existence of a
stone templon. A reassessment of the available data has led us
to propose analysis of the original form of the templon, with
the frescoes of Christ and the Holy Virgin being its constituent
parts, painted directly to the north and south of the barrier.
