Abstract

A Byzantine processional cross is preserved in the church of St. Nicholas in Žakula in Župa dubrovačka. Past research has dated the cross between the 6th and 10th centuries. This artifact was found at the archeological site of St. George’s church, which was most likely constructed between the 10th-12th centuries. The cross is of a tear-shaped type and bears inscriptions that invoke the name of Archistrategos Michael and refer to his Miracle at Chonae. This paper aims to give a new, more precise date for the cross, as well as determining its possible origin and function.
