Description
In the bronze marble epitaph of Andrzej Rottermundt, who died in 1593, a scene of the adoration of the crucified Christ by the deceased is depicted above the inscription tablet. It is framed by an architectural border in green and surmounted by a cartouche with the Kotwica coat of arms. There is a fish in the lower right field and an anchor in the upper left field.
