Istanbul Kariye Museum Warrior Saints SE Arcosolium march 2017 2415.jpg

This is the southeastern arcasolium, for whom it was is unknown. In the centre of the recess are a man and wife in courtly costume, with on either side women in religious dress.
On the upper side of the arch is a portrait of Christ blessing, with to his left a seraph. On both sides of the arch are portraits of angels holding a sceptre in one hand, the other gesturing intercession.
