The sculpture, coming from the parish church of St. Sigismund in Szydłowiec, constitutes an extraordinary dramatic exhibit used during processions of going to church on Palm Sunday as to a symbol of Jerusalem. Christ, in a firmly upright position, is raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing.
moreThe sculpture, coming from the parish church of St. Sigismund in Szydłowiec, constitutes an extraordinary dramatic exhibit used during processions of going to church on Palm Sunday as to a symbol of Jerusalem. Christ, in a firmly upright position, is raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing. With his left hand, he is holding leather reins (which have not been preserved). He is wearing a buttoned up coat characteristic of a late-Gothic ruler, different than in earlier representations where he was more often dressed in an ancient toga and tunic. The sculpture in the National Museum in Kraków is of greater importance because of the preservation of the original cart, which is not frequent among large numbers of preserved Gothic Palm Sunday donkeys.
