This anonymous wooden altarpiece, created before 1889, showcases a complex and detailed composition of carved figures and scenes. Its rich polychromy and intricate details are characteristic of the Late Gothic style, popular in the 15th and 16th centuries. The altarpiece likely held religious significance and served as a focal point for devotional practices. Its intricate carvings and vibrant colors would have been awe-inspiring for viewers of its time.
