The synthronon and locus inferior (αρχιερατικός θρόνος) of the metropolitan of Pozega. Liturgical furniture and wall paintings of the Orahovica Monastery
View through CrossRef
The paper discusses the appearance of the synthronon, the position of the
locus inferior (????????????, or ?????????? ??????, the episcopal throne in
the nave, donje mesto) of the Metropolitan of Pozega at the Orahovica
Monastery, fresco paintings inspired by the purpose of the throne in front
of the sanctuary, and the views it incorporated. The synthronon is in fact a
series of niches. The locus inferior has not survived; based on the fresco
program, the author places it between the southwestern pillar and the
southern wall. The fresco decoration of the locus inferior - one of the
largest in Serbian art - is both centered on the topoi of the throne program
and unique. Christ and the apostles from the apostolic Deisis draw on the
teaching about Christ as the eternal leader of the liturgical community and
the apostolic roots of the church and the office of bishop; by emphasizing
the presence of St. Andronicus and St. Titus beside the seat, the program
incorporates the tradition of the apostolic lineage of the church among the
Slavs and in the Metropolitanate of Pozega.
