Summary: The Museum of Croatian Archeological Monuments in Split
keeps arichly decorated gothic belt found in a dry stonework burialplace at
the cemetery of Sv. Spas at the mouth of the Cetinariver. It consists 69
pieces of gold-plated silver appliques. Itsartistic arrangement enables us
to divide the belt by itscontents and material into two main parts. Its
front, functionalpart with carved outlines of flora and fauna consists of
severalsymbolical wholes. The second part of the belt is anarchitectural
whole with vertically divided profane motives. Itwas probably produced by a
French or Italian goldsmith's shopswhere it was imported from. We may
conclude that the use of ametal belt is an ancient tradition. It have been
preserved aspart of the Dinaric national costume.
Keywords: Gothic belt, necropolis, archaeological site Sv. Spas at the mouth of Cetina river, spirituality, scholasticism, women's dinaric garments, belt "litar".

Summary: The Mediaeval Wicker-work of the pre-Romanesque period on
theterritory of the Early Croatian State had a strong spiritualreflexion in
understanding the Truth of the Holy Trinity. Thisfact is proved by a
fragment of the inscription from thebaptismal font dating from the time of
duke Višeslav (9thcentury). Analyses of these works led us to a conclusion
that thereligion of the Croats reached its peak in the 9th century.
Theexamined metal objects were mostly found in Early Croatian gravesburried
together with the body.
Keywords: Ornamental sculpture, spirituality, patristics, mistique, baptismal font of duke Višeslav, early croatian earrings.

Summary: The Museum of Croatian Archeological Monuments in Split
keeps asilver, gold-plated richly ornamented diadem from Biskupija
nearKnin. Its ornaments are characteristic for the early Middle Ageswhen
symbolics in general were a means of spiritual expressionand comunication
with the illiterate populace. With their commonsymbolical meaning we might
suppose it could have belonged to aCroatian dignitary of the highest class.
Owing to its artisticelements that are also found on the gold earrings from
Golubićnear Knin and the gold-plated thurible from Stara Vrlika, thisdiadem
could be dated to the oldest period of the Croatian State.
