Summary/Abstract: On the lower layer of the façade mortar that once covered the western frontage of the Žiča katholikon, traces were registered of the fi gure of an archangel (the western face of the tower) and parts of ornamental friezes (southern wing of the narthex façade and the northern oculus). Consideration of the data provided in earlier documentation leads one to conclude that this referred to traces of painting done during the renewal of the Ascension Church in the time of Archbishop Danilo II.
