Mediaeval Tombstones from the Site ofthe Mosque at Pridvorica in Borač

Abstract

This paper describes the stećci (mediaeval tombstones) removed from the foundations and
lower reaches of the walls of the mosque at Pridvorica in Borač near Gacko. The stećci that
were removed and neatly laid out at a nearby site include eleven with various motifs in relief:
rosettes, rope-twist, hollows, human figures, an orant, a crescent moon, a staff, a sword and
shield, a frieze of scrolling vines with trefoils. Two epitaphs have survived, one complete, the
other badly damaged.
