THE FRANCISCAN MONASTERY IN SINJ - THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL COLLECTION

The Archaeological collection of the Franciscan monastery in Sinj contains the artifacts found in the Sinj area. Up to the present, the collection was published by N. Cambi (1971), P. Selem (1979, 1997), and M. Tomorad (2000, 2003).

The Egyptological part of the collection consists of a Serapis bust made of terra cotta, a shuabti from Čitluk made of the green enameled terra cotta, a shabti from Čitluk made of the brown terra cotta, a bronze Isis statuette, and two scarabs. One of them, made of a dark stone, was brought by father Ante Jadrijević from Egypt before the outbreak of WWII.
