Tombstone of Antoni and Tekla Szczech

Burial site marked by a cast-iron cross on a two-stage plinth and base. Cross with palmetto-tipped arms filled with floral decoration. At the intersection of the arms originally a figure of Christ (now unpreserved) in radial gloria, above a titulus. At the height of the lower 1/2 arm, a partially damaged oval plaque bordered with ivy. Below the cross are figures of the Virgin Mary and St John the Evangelist, with Mary Magdalene kneeling in the middle, shown as a group of mourners. All figures are dressed in long robes tied at the waist. The Virgin Mary with a maforium on her head, with her arms crossed over her chest. St John is depicted as a young man, with hair down to his shoulders. His hands are folded in a prayer gesture. Mary Magdalene's long hair falls to her shoulders and back. Her right hand touches her face, her left hand is lowered. The cross is set on a plinth, supported on either side by winged putti. First step of plinth with chamfered upper edges. Second step of plinth covered by moulded panel with acroterions and triangular pinnacles. On the pedestal, on the front, an engraved inscription No. 1, on the right wall an engraved inscription No. 2.
