Description
On consoles above the two-row stalls in the chancel are set stone statues representing the six prophets: Jeremiah (portrayed by Matejko), Daniel, David, Ezekiel, Jonah and Isaiah. Two of them were designed by Jan Matejko. They were made in 1891 by Zygmunt Langman and polychromed by Florian and Stanislaw Cynk.
