God the Father circled by cloud

The carved, painted, and gilded ceiling relief was probably made in the second half of the 17th century in the workshop of the sculptor Vinazer for the ceiling of St. Jakob's Church. It depicts God the Father with his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand resting on the orb and cross, set against a blue starry sky. He is surrounded by a wreath of clouds and four winged angels. 

Crist de Val

The life-size figure of Christ – probably dating to the early 17th century, perhaps once part of a roadside shrine – was recovered from the "forcella di San Silvestro" on Stevia after being severely damaged during a storm. It was stored in a barn for many years before being discovered by the sculptor Albino Pitscheider, who replaced some missing parts. Unusual features include the construction in larch wood, the unusually long body proportions and the touchingly peaceful facial expression.
