Interesting figurine. Great art, but makes me wonder why such figurines are displayed.

I'd guess the stonemasons wanted to show their skill. Plus they had some money to burn, St Mary's Cathedral (or New Cathedral) in Linz is the biggest church in Austria (in capacity, not in highness - that would be St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna)
