A square base with smooth walls carries a plinth with a richly profiled foot, which is decorated on the front and both sides with a double sunken frame with captured corners. There is a chiseled inscription in the sunken frame on the front side. <u>On the sides of the plinth, sunken frames are filled with reliefs of St. Joseph with Jesus (on the right) and the figure of the Sorrowful Virgin Mary (on the left).</u> The plinth is finished with an inlaid profiled cornice. On the plinth there is a kneeling figure of St. Jan Nepomucký. The saint is depicted according to traditional iconography in a cleric, a rochetta and a fur cloak - a mozzetta, with his head slightly tilted back and his hands down along the body. In his right hand he holds a palm branch and in his left a birette, the edge of which touches the mozzetta. A halo of five stars surrounds his head. The front part of the base is provided with a two-line Czech inscription cut in the modern capital SV. JOHN OF NEPOMUK//. <u>On the sides of the base, above the reliefs of St. Joseph and Our Lady of Sorrows were preserved by inscriptions cut in the modern capital of S. IOSEPHVS. // S. MARIA.ORP //.</u></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]409606[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
