EURASIAN DECORATİVE ANIMAL TRACES OF THE ATHEN’S LITTLE METROPOLIS CHURCH
During
the long period of living together, Turks and Byzantines have been bilateral
interaction both culturally and artistically. One
example of this, is the 12th century animal figures on the
façade of the metropolitan bishop church of Athens called Little Metropolis. Among them, especially in terms of
stylistic composition, lion and deer fight illustrates familiarity with the
Eurasian animal style. While human face lion figure indicates the
proximity to the Seljuk style its composition’s dynamic manner also
recalls the Eurasia Animal Style. In this paper aforementioned figures will be
discussed in comparison with Anatolian Moslem Turkish and Christian Examples
