Post by: Druzhina on 10 March 2017, 04:43:57 AM
Georgian Carved Altar Screen from Tsebelda church, Georgian National Museum (http://www.warfare.netau.net/6-10/Georgian-altar_screen-Tsebelda.htm), 9th-10th centuries.
At top centre is a damaged crucifixion scene. Below this are guards at the sepulchre, one with a large round turban, spear and small round shield.
On the left is St. Peter and the crowing cock. Below this St. Peter is crucified upside-down.
On the right, perhaps, the holy spirit as as dove descends onto a man blessed or baptised by another accompanied by angels.
Below is St. Eustace Placidus hunting on the Georgian Carved Altar Screen from Tsebelda (http://www.warfare.netau.net/6-10/Georgian-altar_screen-Tsebelda-Eustace.htm).
