Tombstone of Father Francis Xavier Stuer

Karviná | Czech Republic

Burial site marked by statues of St Francis Xavier and a kneeling figure set on a sandstone plinth. Monzonite plaque transversely placed in the plinth. Sculpture of Saint Francis with a skull instead of a face. He is dressed in priestly garb and holds a cross in his left hand. A figure kneels in front of the saint, head broken, lying beside him. Presumably the saint is giving her a blessing/anointing/communion. The kneeling figure is probably a man.
