A contribution to the consideration of the use of wigs in medieval sculpture in Silesia. The aim of the articles to present the issue of the use of natural hair (usually horsehair) in gothic Silesian sculpture and to highlight important problems and topics that should be taken up for better recognition of this issue. The wigs in medieval sculpture – most often appearing in Christ’s representations – were intended to strengthen realism, and thus to make the faithful deepen their contemplation and focus on the Passion of the Christ. Their use was a response to the then emotional piety and also to the needs of the faithful. Among the objects preserved in Silesia, a group with wigs or originally equipped with them can be indicated, which confirms this trend also in this region.
