Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the stećci (mediaeval tombstones) removed from the foundations and lower reaches of the walls of the mosque at Pridvorica in Borač near Gacko. The stećci that were removed and neatly laid out at a nearby site include eleven with various motifs in relief: rosettes, rope-twist, hollows, human figures, an orant, a crescent moon, a staff, a sword and shield, a frieze of scrolling vines with trefoils. Two epitaphs have survived, one complete, the other badly damaged.
