Abstract
This paper contains an analysis of a coat of arms, for which the family origin had been unknown until this point. The Dokulo family, to whom the “coat of arms” belonged, is introduced, and their primary residence has been placed on the island of Krk. The coat of arms, displayed in the cathedral in Rab, is accompanied by an inscription. New findings about the Dokulo family have been put forth thanks to research into literary sources. The paper also notes certain other, non-noble families of Kvarner who used the same helm motif on their own “coats of arms”.
