 |

Undoubtedly authentic are the carving on the central panel under the cornice showing St Barbara, St Mary Magdalene and St Catherine, and the scenes of the Annunciation and Adoration of the Magi on the cupboard doors, as well as the ornamental carving which combines elements of Gothic and Renaissance patterns. |
