106 The Church of Our Lady od Špilice – St Mary retable / St Joseph retable Condition of the retables Generally, the condition of the two retables was comparable, with differences in amount and position of damages. Most obvious is the deterioration of carved ornaments due to an infestation of woodeating insects and climatic stress. Climatic stress caused flaking and losses of gilding and polychrome layers due to losses in adhesion and cohesion.
