TRIFRON
The trifron, or more precisely, vultus trifrons is a visual representation of three faces in one, so that these three faces share four eyes. The meaning of this representation is mostly unclear – in most cases it is an artistic play.
In the history of art numerous examples are found and still preserved in the Romans and Celts, but also in Romanesque and high-Gothic churches. A few medieval frescoes with a clear reference to the Christian Trinity are also known: for example, in the church of San Nicola (Giornico) from the 15th century and in the St. Peter’s Basilica in Basel dating from the time around 1400.
