Bosnian Stećci: 13-16th Century Medieval Tombstones
-
Description
-
60,000 of these stećci (medieval tombstones) stand across Bosnia-Herzegovina. This form of stećak art developed within the medieval Bosnian state, demonstrating a unique culture and influences such as Islam. The engravings encapsulate the development of Bosnian Cyrillic, demonstrate Bosnian lyrical artistry, and offer insights into cultural history and symbolism (Lovrenocić, 2001, 69-72).
