Abstract

The authors analyze yet another fragment of probably medieval sculpture, a relief of an elephant from Daruvar in the Museum of the City of Bjelovar. The study concludes that the piece has a similar original date (12th ct.) and provenance (Venice area), as the font and the compound column discussed in the previous issue of the the Peristil, and that its discovery increases the chances that the entire "hoard" is genuine. A Pannonian 12th century origin remains dubious, but it should not be at this stage completely ruled out.
