Former high akar from the church of the Descent of the I loly Spirit in Csíkmenaság, 1510 In Transylvanian altarpieces, the Gothic superstructure gave way to painted semicircular lunettes in the early 16th century, which lends the altarpieces a more compact and self-contained character. Renaissance motifs are most accentuated in the architecture of the altar, which contains renaissance columns and ovum mouldings in cornices.
