This relief, from the second half of the 11th century, shows a crowned Croatian ruler on the throne and is believed to have originated from the altar screen of the coronation basilica of King Zvonimir, the Church of SS Peter and Moses, in Solin.
The replica of this sculpture represents the award of the MFAF expert jury.
