Description:
Bernard? Sandstone sculpture, formerly painted, of a sitting monk from 1415/20 which probably came from Eberbach and therefore probably represents Bernard. Attributes are missing, but it is presumed that the left hand formerly held a crozier and the right hand a book in the traditional way. Previously in the Wiesbaden Museum, Nassauischer Altertuemer, now displayed in the Eberbach Abbey Museum.
