Limoges Crucifix from a grave in Krbava Cathedral

Sažetak

This paper analyses a crucifix found in St. Jacob’s Cathedral, in
Udbina. It was placed on the chest of the deceased person in
Grave 443. On the basis of 14C measurements and stratigraphic
analysis, the burial has been dated to the late 13th century. The
crucifix was made in Limoges in the first half of the 13th century.
Judging by its size, before being placed in the grave it could have
been used as an altar cross. Grave 443 dates from the period preceding
the construction of Krbava Cathedral. Originally, it was
part of an earlier cemetery formed around a smaller church that
had been demolished so that the cathedral of the Krbava Bishops
could be built in its place. Perhaps the crucifix itself belonged to
the inventory of the earlier church.
