Altar (Parts), Ston, Church of the Virgin of Lužina Artifact The inscription on the fragment of the altar screen, found near the church, reads "...ORE SCE... as (IN HON)ORE SANCTAE (MARIAE?)" and is dated probably to the beginning of the 9th century, while some scholars are discussing another origin from the church of the beginning of the 12th century. It is decorated with floral and geometric design with twelve three-way interlaced circles, inside which there are eight-leaf rosettes. The empty space is filled with seven-leaf palmettes. Stylistically it has been connected to pre-Romanesque style. Parts of the lintel as well as liturgical furniture are also preserved.
