Summary/Abstract: This work was the result of a field study aimed at locating, recording, photographing and describing old, tombstones, wooden crosses in the Catholic cemetery in Tutnjevac, which belongs to the parish of Spionica in church and administrative terms. The settlement of Spionica has a centuries-old continuity, it is mentioned in the first half of the 16th century, while the first author's well-known record of a Catholic cemetery in the town of the same name dates from 1772. The wooden crosses that are the subject of this work date from the second half of the 20th century, but they undoubtedly have a longer tradition, which was interrupted under various circumstances at the end of the last century. At the cemetery, in November 2017, we found twelve such crosses, among which there is a differentiation between male (6 pieces) and female (6 pieces). Making such crosses is one of the types of vernacular art that will not be seen in situ.
