101 The Church of Our Lady od Špilice – St Mary retable / St Joseph retable Fig. 160: Joseph retable, right gable; red: inserted part with fragmentary inscription; green arrow: interrupted sawing line Fig. 161: Mary retable (condition as found); base of the left column; visible cut-out. The cut-out was made to insert the retable between the cover plate of the septum and the wall. After the later lifting of the retable onto the modern box-like subconstruction, this cut-out was left untreated Fig. 162: Joseph retable; here the same cut was made in the base of the right column. It is most likely that this cut was made to obtain a position directly on the surface of the mensa. The cut was made for the railing of the septum which is about 10 cm higher than the mensa. Later, the modern under-construction was made to lift the position of the retable onto the niveau of the septum again. No attempt was made to close the large, then visible gap
