| Ciborium from Kotor | Artifact | The original ciborium from the Church of St. Tryphon in Kotor dates back probably to the beginning of the 9th century. It was found in secondary use above the door leading to the sacristy of the cathedral. The ciborium is an excellent example of pre-Romanesque sculpture with characteristic interlacing and zoomorphic figures on its arcade, along with an inscription on three sides (the fourth side is considered to be the one built above one of the doors in the building of the neighbouring diocese and it doesn't contain any inscription). We have to emphasise that scholars disagree regarding the fragments of inscriptions, whether or not they belong to the same ciborium. Based on the inscription, some scholars dated this ciborium between 1169 and 1178 (also, L. Mirković believes that the inscription was engraved in the 11th century on a decorated plate of the 9th century). It was probably in the cathedral until the end of the 18th century or the beginning of the 19th century, when it was dismantled due to a reconstruction of the cathedral. Its parts were then built into the walls of the cathedral itself and other surrounding buildings. Also, various solutions of reading and interpretation have been proposed for the Saints mentioned in the inscription on the slab of the ciborium. The new ciborium of the Church of St. Tryphon in Kotor dates around 1362. |

| Martinići Gradina | Place | The Martinići Gradina does not show up in the sources, but was probably built in the Migration Period when the Slavic gentes arrived at the Balkans. It is found on a hill north of Spuž within the boundaries of Donji Martinići, Gornji Martinići and Gradina. | ||
| Martinići, Church of St. Archangel Michael | Place | The ruins of a basilica are situated in the vicinity of the village of Martinići. It was built in the second half of the 9th or in the 10th century. It is a three nave basilica, having lateral aisles separated from the central one with full walls. A narthex is to be found on the Western side of the basilica. Some researchers believe that the Northern aisle served for baptism. The remains of sculpted stone furnishing in the altar and the nave indicate a richly equipped edifice. A Greek inscription on the altar screen mentions the name of Saint Archangel Michael, which led researchers to believe that he is the patron Saint of the church. This very inscription has been interpreted in two ways: 1. + Ο Θ(EO)C TH ΠΡΕC(BEIA) ...E TON (Π)ETR(0N)I ... 2. + Ο Θ(EO)C TH ΠΡΕC(BEIA) ... (ΦYΛATT)E TON (Π)ETR(0N)I ... Moreover, it mentions the name of a certain Peter, who could have been the donor of the basilica. Another inscription in Latin has been read as follows: + (MICH)AEL ET IOH(AN)E DIE ... ET GLORIA BEATO MIXAEL AR(CHANGELO) ... N ... LIN Unfortunately, no other written account has been preserved on this basilica. |
