Staurotheke of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin Artifact The staurotheke of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321) is kept in the Dominican Monastery in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It has the form of a double cross of sheet silver with twisted rosettes at the ends of the arms and the donor's inscription engraved on the front and back of the handle. The important inscription states that the reliquary was commissioned by King Milutin and Bishop Gregory II of Raška for the church of the Saints Peter and Paul in Ras. It also contains the donors' prayer for the forgiveness of sins, sanction for whoever should dare harm the church or the Holy Rood, and verses about the protective powers of the True Cross.
