I found this #statue at the Church of St James in #Brno very impressive, but sadly, I can't tell you anything about it.

Auf ziemlich genau halber Höhe an der #StJakobskirche in #Brünn (Brno) hängt diese #Drolerie. Um das unanständige Männchen, “Neslušný mužícek”, ranken sich Legenden rund um einen Streit zweier Kirchen, aber tatsächlich sind solche nackten Popos gar nicht so selten.

Halfway up the Church of St James in #Brno is this #drollery called "The Indecent Man". There are legends involving two rival churches around it, but in fact, such #grotesque adornments weren't uncommon.

Another shot from the #Brno Ossuary at St James's Church (Kostel sv. Jakuba) for #SpookySaturday.

This #sculpture, titled "Soul", is by local artist Pavel Tasovský, who also designed other artistic elements in the #ossuary.

My #SpookySaturday features another shot from St James's Church (Kostel sv. Jakuba) in #Brno – the ossuary. Unlike some ossuaries, the bones and #skulls here haven't been turned into fancy art, but with around 50,000 people buried (sponsored by plague and cholera), it's said to be the second-largest #ossuary in Europe. Rediscovered only in 2001, it's made up of just three burial chambers, but it's quite the experience.
