A wooden polychrome sculpture of St Zachary hand-carved between 1760 and 1770 by the Baroque sculptor Joseph Holzinger (1735 – 1797). The sculpture depicts a male figure in an S-shaped composition, leaning on his right leg with his left leg slightly bent. His upper body is slightly tilted to the left. He is gazing downward to the right. His left arm is stretched downwards to his left and his right arm is bent at the elbow in front of his chest, his hand pointing to his left. He is wearing gold liturgical vestments, boots, a two-horned gold bishop’s hat (mitre) and a gold breastplate (rationale) with twelve precious stones. His cheeks are slightly red and he has brown, curly hair, a beard and a moustache. The figure is placed on a square grey plinth.
