Created: mid-18th century Material, technology: painted, gilt and silvered limewood Size: h.: 135 cm Description: St Stephen’s statue originally decorated an altar. The iconographic type of the king shown in the costume of Hungarian noblemen spread from the 17th century.

It is the work of a Hungarian master of average quality. |  |
