The stone lid from the tomb of Prince Henry II the Pious (d.1241)

The free-standing sculpture shows the resurrected Prince in a suit of armour, trampling and spearing a figure of a Tartar (scaled-down and crushed under the Prince’s feet, a symbol of the final defeat of paganism). The work is an unusual example of Silesian sculptures created by artists linked with the Prague workshop of Peter Parler – the creator of St Vitus Cathedral and Charles Bridge in Prague. The sculpture originated from the chancel of the Church of St James and St Vincent in Wrocław.
