About this work

Cast-iron fireplace with three semicircles at the top. In the center stands Sebastian, bound to a pole, with his hands behind his back. On either side stand two men aiming arrows and bows at him. Above Sebastian hangs a shield with five crosses; above the two men, a shield with a vertical line. At the bottom edge of the semicircles, Gothic tracery.
