This media file displays a vibrant Orthodox Christian mural painted on a curved, golden-yellow wall, functioning as a fountain. The artwork features several religious figures and iconography, typical of the "Spring of Life" (Životvorni Istočnik) theme. At the top center, a celestial being with a human face and six broad wings, possibly a seraph or cherub, is depicted. Below, in the central section, the Virgin Mary (Theotokos), wearing a red and blue robe with a halo, extends her arms in an orans pose. She holds the Christ Child, also with a halo and wearing a white tunic, who stands in a wooden boat. The boat rests on stylized blue wavy water, from which three spouts project, channeling water into a stone basin below. Flanking the central scene are two saints. On the left, a bearded male saint with a halo, dressed in dark bishop's vestments (possibly a phelonion and omophorion with crosses), holds a red book. Text above him identifies him as "СТ НИКОЛА" (Saint Nicholas). On the right, another bearded male saint with a halo, wearing a green tunic and blue undergarment, holds a staff topped with a cross. This is likely Saint John the Baptist. Visible text above the central figures reads "ИЗВОР ЖИВОТА" (Spring of Life) on the left and "БОЖИЈА" (God's/Divine) on the right, referring to "God's Spring of Life." Below these, "МАЈК" (Mother) and "ХС" (initialism for Jesus Christ) are present. A partial word, "РНИКА", is visible at the top right, possibly part of "ВОДОПРЕНИКА" (water spring/fountain). The mural is illuminated by sunlight, casting shadows on the right side. The paint shows signs of weathering, with cracks and fading visible on the golden background and some figures. The water from the spouts flows into a dark stone trough, confirming its use as a fountain. The overall scene suggests a holy well or shrine.
