This stone relief depicts Saint Sebastian pierced by arrows, a common motif in Christian art
Short TermThis stone relief depicts Saint Sebastian pierced by arrows, a common motif in Christian art. The carving shows the saint tied to a post, with arrows embedded in his body, yet he appears resolute. A small object, possibly a quiver or a pot, rests at the base. The relief is framed by a decorative rope-like pattern. Above the saint's head, an inscription in German is partially visible, reading "St. Sebastian schütz uns vor Krankheit, Pest und Tod." (Saint Sebastian protect us from illness, plague, and death). The weathered stone and the inscription suggest it's a devotional plaque from a historical period.
