摘要：The author analyzes two unpublished bird-shaped fibulae found by Dane Maretić in the wider area of the Šibenik hinterland, more precisely on the sites of Danilo – Gradina (Hillfort) and Podumci – Maretića umac. The fibula from Danilo is kept in the Museum Collection of the Monastery on Visovac, while the one from Podumci is in the possession of the finder. The fibulae are made of bronze in full sculpture and they depict birds with folded wings. The plate fibulae are also briefly described in the work as the author believes that they belong to the same cultural and chronological horizon. The opinion is put forward that the plastically rendered fibulae depict a pigeon or a turtle-dove, which is connected with Christian symbolism. Considering the fact that the analyzed fibulae were found together with Germanic finds, and based on comparative pieces from the wider territory of Europe, the author dates the fibulae from Podumci and Danilo to the period of the 5th or 6th cent. A.D.
