Sažetak

This paper deals with fragments of a number of plaques that were integral parts of liturgical inventory in a Christian sanctuary in Zadar during the Late Antique period. Given that they were found in the Romanesque rosette of the Zadar Cathedral, their origin is attributed to the same basilica. The front sides of the plaques are decorated with iconographic scene of Calvary: in the centre is a crux gemmata type of cross, raised on a step-like postament. Under the crossbars, there are lambs, and birds above them. The central scene is framed by a border of grapevines that grow from a kantharoi. The fragments have led to conflicting dating results in scientific papers, which in the opinion of scientists, ranges from the end of the 6th or the beginning of the 7th century all the way to the mid-8th century. New arguments and finds however support a still earlier dating.
