Description

The trifora of the altar apse of the Church of the Holy Mother of God in the Monastery of Studenica is made of marble and dated around 1190. Rich plastic decoration is found in the lunette, window frame and window sill in the form of relief, which the console supports in the form of two almost free-standing figures/statues (actually made in high relief).
The altar trifora of the katholikon of Studenica is characterised by stylistic similarities with monuments of Italian Romanesque sculpture. It is interesting to note that the trifora from the Monastery of Dečani is made entirely like the trifora from this Monastery.
