Margaret of Antioch with dragon

The figure of St Margaret of Antioch with a dragon was probably created around 1700 by a sculptor from the Trebinger workshop. It would have featured as part of a small family altar in the parish church of St Christina. During the neoclassical period, the multicoloured, partially gilded wooden sculpture was painted white to give the impression of marble. Only during cleaning in the 1990s did its original appearance re-emerge.

Angel on cloud

The sculpture of a curly-haired angel with gilded wings, dating back to around 1700, may have been carved in the workshop of Christian Trebinger. Notable features include the delicate facial features, a white drapery with a gilded border and a cloud on which the right foot seems to rest.
