This gravestone is located in Gornja Gorevnica, a village in the Moravica District, Serbia. These monumental medieval tombstones are called Stećak, literally meaning the ‘tall, standing thing’, and were a common tradition amongst Catholic, Orthodox and Bosnian Church followers alike.
Christianity is evident in the presence of a communion goblet and the figure of a man with outstretched arms and a halo (or crown of thorns) on his head which symbolizes the crucifixion. The burial site may belong to a woman as the hand appearing from the sky displays a bracelet or frilly cuff. The ink and pen signifies a writer.
