Motiv šišarke na dva spomenika iz Humca kod Ljubuškog
Pine Cones Motive on two Monuments from Humac near Ljubuški

Summary/Abstract: Two stone monuments in the shape of pine cones have been found at Humac near Ljubuški, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Pine cones are a fairly common motif, mainly on funerary monuments. They also occur in relief on certain everyday objects, on stele, and in particular on Liburnian cippi, where pine cones were a decorative feature on the calotte-shaped top of the monument. These were small in size, to about 15 cm. Larger pine cones, up to a metre, such as those on tombstones from the Dardanian region, are less common. The stone pine cones from Humac are fairly large, up to half a metre, similar to those from Dardania. This motif has also been recorded on the pyramidal pediment of funerary arae and mausolea, rotundas, urns, and architectural features.
