Description

The bronze sculpture was created in 1373 by Transylvanian Saxon sculptors Martin and Georg of Clussenberch, todays Cluj. The statue was probably cast in Nagyvarad or Großwardein, todays Oradea, where two other works by the two brothers have stood in the dome square until being melted for their metal in the 17th century during the Turkish wars.
