| Description | Issues relating to Ethiopian painting are examined on the basis of an analysis of the decoration of the northern wall of the narthex of one of the oldest sacred buildings in the Tigray region, the monastery basilica of Däbra Maryam Qorqor (1280–1330). The importance of the basilica is testified to by the wall paintings, which are among the oldest sets of such paintings to have been preserved intact. The paper deals with basic questions concerning the relationship between the iconographic concept of the decoration of the northern wall of the narthex and possible models and the function of the liturgical space. |
