Sažetak
The background, knowledge and interests of the particular researchers have resulted in various approaches and interpretations, which is clearly shown in their particular interpretations of the symbolics on the upright (standing) tombstones - stećci. Christian iconographers say that the visual art sources and models of Christian iconography belong primarily to Antique and Oriental compositions, whose mythological content is visually similar to Christian parabola and evangelical events. Thus, they were adopted by Christianity in their visual art form, but given a completely different content. I have tried to connect two different medias – tombstones on one side – with their "heavenly" or "celestial" kolo-dance engravings motif, and fresco depiction of the dance of death (Totentanz, danse macabre) – on the other side, as the same idea developed on two different ways. The techniques and manners of presentation may differ, but the symbolics are the same – the link between the world of the living and the world of the dead – or, in the other words, a transition, the crossing of a soul into eternal life.
