Abstract
The author presents a ciborium found in fragmented form during archeological digging of the remains of a three aisled church, the so-called "Crkvina" in the village of Biskupija near Knin. Since the archeologist S. Gunjača reconstructed it in 1955, various specialists have dated it into the eleventh century. According to its stylistic characteristics and carving technique the author relates the ciborium to other examples of Early Romanesque sculpture of the so-called Zadar-Knin group which he defined in 1960. After various theories have recently been proposed by several authors who studied the location of the church in Knin consacrated in 1078 (and called cathedral 'of the Croatian Bishop") in the documents of the time, and after N. Jaktić identified the church as the church referred to as "Crkvina,". the author believes that the entire Zadar-Knin group of sculptures may be referred approximately to that year.
