a Raman spectrum collected during the study of the sculptured door frame in the church of St. George on a red painted area, showing bands corresponding to hematite (225, 291 and 408 cm−1). A spectrum from pure ferric oxide (Fe2O3) is shown as a reference. b LIBS spectrum from a brown area of the door frame at the church of St. George. Emission lines from Fe (487.821, 489.149, 492.05 and 495.759 nm) and Mn (475.404, 478.342 and 482.352 nm) suggest the presence of hematite and manganese black respectively
