| Kuti, Church of St. Thomas, Fresco | Artifact | The remains of frescoes found in the Church of St. Thomas in Kuti date back to the 11th century. Fragments of frescoes reveal several Saints' heads. They were probably made by Byzantine masters, as the similarity can be seen with the painting in the chapel and crypt of the Katholikon of the Monastery of St. Luke in Fokida (Hosios Loukas), but also with the remains of wall painting in the Dubrovnik Cathedral and in St. Nicholas in Koločep. Today, the found fragments are kept in the Regional Museum of Herceg Novi. |
| Kuti, Church of St. Thomas, Parapet Plate | Artifact | In the Church of St. Thomas in Kuti were representative carved stone altar parapets in former times, of which the entire parapet plate with the scene of Adoration of the Cross is the only one preserved. It is probably from the last third of the 11th century. The developed figural decoration is distinguished by two stylistic peculiarities - the pre-Romanesque motif of the cross filled with braids woven with a three-part strip, and on the other hand, the innovative shaping of figures and the abandonment of flatness. Today it is kept in the Regional Museum of Herceg Novi.. |
