This stećak is an important tombstone of the region. Scholars contend that it was made during the 14th century and served as the tombstone of the medieval Bosnian King Stjepan II who died in 1353. The illustrations of buildings on the end are believed to be some of the earliest representations of Bosnian domestic structures. The stećak was found in Donja Zgošća near Kakanj, approximately 50 kilometers north of Sarajevo along the Bosna River. The tombstone now sits in the garden of the Bosnia and Herzegovina National Museum in Sarajevo. (photo 2008)

''Godinama me muči fenomen srednjovjekovnog čovjeka Bosne (zbog kojeg su anđeli pocnjeli, a Satanel dobio nove bore).''

We found some really great Stećci patterns, but unfortunately some of the Stećcis were overrun by nature or were used as storage place for beer cases. Furthermore, the road to the Stećci biggest collection in the region was under water, as the men from the local café pointed out. As usual, they congratulated Juliet on her remarkable Bosnian and I wondered if I could somehow switch brains with her and how much that would hurt.
