The article is a fragment of a M.A. disseration written under the guidance of Ireneusz Płuska in the Department of Conservation of Artworks at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. The topic is the conservation of a stone sculpture depicting the Holy Virgin and Child in the church of Staromieście, from the beginning of the fourteenth century. The work conducted on this subject was based on an attempted interpretation of the sculpture, which has no distinct analogies in Polish art. Due to the absence of source and inconographic data, this examination involved an interpretation of the object itself which produced a hypothesis that the sculpture depicts Holy Mary Enthroned, and constitutes a fragment of a large whole - a tympanum or erection stone plate. A comparison with extant works from that period provides an argument for assuming that the tympanum was of an historical or donative nature. An analogous object was discovered among the lapidarium of the Charlieu monastery. Iconographie investigations determined the trend and range of the aesthetic-plastic conservation, the extent and range of reconstruction and the subsequent display of the sculpture. The conservation work resorted to the British version of the traditional limestone method. (translated by A. Rodzińska-Chojnowska)
