Abstract

One until now unknown sculpture representing the Madonna and the Christ Child (treasured by the Benedictine Nunnery of St. Lucia in Šibenik) is described by the authoress. The sculpture is made of painted baked clay, representing a antique example of its kind. Following a stylistic analysis and comparison with a small number of preserved and published sculptures of similar kind executed in wood and found in Italy, the authoress assigns it a place among the rarely preserved sculptural works of the mature Romanesque period from the second half of the 13th century.
As the sculpture of the Madonna and Child was recieved by the Regional Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Monuments in a damaged and repainted condition, the authoress describes the care taken to clean, repair and preserve the sculpture since it represents a significant and exceptional monument.
