Gypsum in the Syrian Church
As for the walls, we also find drawn on the walls of the altar and on top of the first row of windows decorations in the form of smooth plasters, which were etched using pointed carving. We also find that around the three bends are different plaster decorations in the form of leaves, branches of plants growing vertically, and leaves of vineyards and grapes, and strips overlapping forming a Cross-and flowers on the columns as well as palm designs. We also see the windows decorated by wheat plant as a symbol of communion and bunches of grapes as symbol of the blood of Jesus Christ and fish designs, as well as some musical instruments that were used by David the prophet. These beautiful plaster designs were created in the tenth century ad.
