DrveniK, Croatia


A high tombstone made in the mid 15th century. It shows two horsemen and a young woman standing between them, and is folkloristic representation of a struggle between a Turk and a local young man Kostanić (a native name) for the sympathy of a girl. In this battle the young man Kostanić died. The story that preceded the placement of this tombstone is a Croatian version of Romeo and Juliet.
