Iconographic sculpture - Abstract
This article is devoted to the stylistic and iconographic analysis of the relief decor of the White Temple in the village of Taglan (Abkhazia) in the context of Abkhazian medieval sculpture, revealing the analogues of the examined reliefs in the sculpture of Georgia, Armenia, Alania, Ingushetia, the Byzantine Empire and their dating. The academic novelty is due to the fact that this is the first attempt at detailed research of the sculptural decoration of the White Temple in the village of Taglan. A comparison with the revealed analogues lets us approximately date the reliefs back to the 11th–12th century.
