Szekszárd, abutment


Carvings with different ornamental foliages and palmettes on all four side reflect Byzantine influence. Palmettes have a variety of arrangements and friezes match the form of the stone. The composition of guilloch enrichment indicates the artist's attempt to make the two shorter sides different. The guilloch enrichment filled with crucifixes and human heads counterbalances a composition with ox and animal heads. Differences were probably due to location.
