Saint Florian
In a Gothic niche with ribbed vaulting and tiled floor, the saint stands frontally in full figure, holding his head with long blond curls at a slight angle, in silver armour over which a red cloak falls. In his lowered right hand he holds a wooden tube at an angle so that water flows out of it to the ground; in his left hand he holds a lance with a pennant. Over his head a golden nimbus. Through the windows a view of the deep blue sky. Gold frame. (Inventory description)
