Annotated object study

A relationship-focused companion study of the three sanctuary zones recorded here. It is intentionally schematic so the illustration does not imply one monument, one measured plan, or one fixed left/right assignment.

Illustration boundaryThis generated study is interpretation, not documentary evidence. It abstracts only the record’s supported relationship: a central bema with flanking sanctuary spaces. Use the source trail below for documentary evidence.
Generated interpretive study showing a central bema between two flanking sanctuary spaces. The flanking spaces are deliberately not assigned left or right to prothesis and diakonikon because surviving configurations vary.

How to read the study. The gold central zone marks the bema relationship. The two blue side zones mark flanking sanctuary space without assigning orientation. The labels below preserve the canonical evidence states rather than turning the drawing into a reconstruction.

Generated-media method note

No source photograph, measured drawing, third-party image, or traced monument plan was used. Geometry, color, and labels are task-authored explanatory media derived from the record’s registered relationships.
