The frescoes date from the tenth and eleventh centuries. More from the same area (Church of St George).
Unfortunately they have been badly damaged. Interesting features: the 'Turk', the shield patterns, the split in the kremasmata, the horse harnesses and the knotted tail.
I actually have hundreds of images. I spent three months travelling around what was the Eastern Empire. I started in Venice, then Ravenna, Florence (it was on the way), Rome, worked my way down to Brindisi, crossed to Corfu and traveled around Greece (Ioannina, Kastoria, Thessaloniki, Meteora, Mystras, Athens, among others), then Crete, Cyprus and Turkey (Cappadocia and Thrace, mainly). I was armed with a cheap camera and a strange interest in all things Byzantine.
I don't want to clog up the forum with images, so I'm just trying to choose those that are military-related, interesting and that people may never have seen on the internet before.
Any requests for images from certain regions/churches, let me know.
Cheers
