SUMMARY
The impressive gate survives in the western part of the West Church of the Alahan monastic complex in Isauria, having been the central entrance from the narthex to the nave. The decoration consists of relief floral and geometrical motifs and a number of scenes. It has been dated mainly due to stylistic elements, to the mid-5th century, and represents a fine example of the high-level sculpture in this area of Isauria. |
