Croatian interlace

[2] The interlaces in Croatia are dominated by double and triple ribbons.

[2] The ornamental strings were sometimes grouped together with animal and herbal figures.

Other notable examples are located near Knin, in Ždrapanj and Žavić by the Bribir settlement, Rižinice near Solin and in Split and Zadar.

There exits scholarly debate about the origin and identity of the regional three-ribbon interlace, some considering it as Croatian "national expression", other arguing Lombardic influence (introduced by the Patriarchate of Aquileia), but such exclusive models are problematic.

[2][3] Croatia has a civil and military decoration called the Order of the Croatian Interlace.
