The image depicts the Plague Column in Pilsen, Czechia
The image depicts the Plague Column in Pilsen, Czechia. The column features a sculpture of a reclining figure, possibly representing a person suffering from or mourning the plague, with a skull resting near their head. A plaque is mounted on the column, inscribed with text in Czech. The text reads: "Roku 1681 nákladem Plzeňské obce na odvrácení morové rány postaveno. Roku 1890 a znovu roku 1931 dobrovolnými příspěvky obnovena." This translates to: "In the year 1681, built at the expense of the Pilsen municipality to ward off the plague. In the year 1890 and again in the year 1931, restored by voluntary contributions." The column is adorned with several golden crosses at its base. The surrounding environment is stony and appears to be outdoors.
