Mural on the Clergy Tower / Wandbild am Pfaffenturm

No idea if he is supposed to be Pilate or Herod that presents Jesus, but he looks distinctly osmanic and at this alas not very charming, a typical political 17th century slant on the story. The rough holes are from adding new plaster later, it must be a rediscovered and restaurated artwork. / Ich weiss nicht ob der, der da den Jesus am Kragen vorfuehr der Pilatus oder der Herodes sein soll, aber er schaut betont osmanisch und dabei leider nicht sehr charmant aus, ein ein typisches politisch gepraegtes Motiv aus dem 17ten Jahrhundert. Die groben Loecher kommen davon, das man das speter mal ueberpflastert hat, es muss bei einer Restaurierung wieder aufgefunden worden sein.
