Pictured is a sculpture with a Statuary showing mount Golgotha with a crucifix, flanked by sandstone statues of the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist. The bronze gilded body of Jesus Christ was made in Dresden in 1629 by bell-maker Hans Hillger based on a design of sculptor Wolf Ernest Brohn 1600-1664 and bought for Prague in 1657; two years after the statue was bought, it was placed on a wooden cross. In 1707, the wooden cross was replaced by a bronze cross mounted on the stone pedestal in the shape of Golgotha full of stone frogs, lizards and other creatures made by Jan JiÃâ¦Ã¢â¢ÃÆàHermann from Dresden. The Sandstone statues of the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist were created by Emanuel Max in 1861 and replaced lead statues from 1666 made by Prague bell-maker MikulÃÆáÃâ¦Ã¡ LÃÆöw of LÃÆöwenberk âââ¬Ã 1680 that are missing now.
