29 Glagolitic Mass・fantasy

Glagolitic lettering, which had been used to spread Christianity, appears on the central panels; the saints on the side panels are thought to be the 9th century brothers Cyril and Methodius who are credited with devising the Glagolitic script. Resist paste made of lime remains on the surface and lines were scratched off. The rough solid texture and grey color of the paste combine to imbue this panel with the mystique of ancient paintings on caves or stone walls.
