This is an image of the St
This is an image of the St. Kinga's Chapel in the Wieliczka Salt Mine, located in Wieliczka, Poland. The chapel is carved entirely from salt. The scene depicts several life-sized salt sculptures of figures in historical attire. On the left, two figures stand guard, one holding a spear and a shield, wearing helmets. To the right, a central figure, possibly a queen, wears a crown and a draped garment. Further to the right, a figure sits, holding a tool resembling a pickaxe. The sculptures are set within the rough-hewn walls and ceiling of the salt mine, with some lighting illuminating the figures and the cavernous space. The ground is covered in loose salt or earth.
