介绍（中）	红石是一种石灰石，质地细腻，呈黄灰色，非常适合模仿人体的品质。文艺复兴时期，它经常被用于上巴伐利亚州的雕塑，在那里它被开采。在同一时期，祭坛上流行着天使式的遮羞布。我们可以假设，这个小伙子最初是一个天使（他的翅膀上的洞，可能是镀金金属做的，已经在后面填满了），他站在祭坛的左上角，稳稳地站着他的盾牌，上面刻着萨克森公爵的手臂。纹章徽章实际上是反向呈现的，这是出于装饰的原因：毫无疑问，它们面对的是右上角一位护盾同伴所支撑的纹章装置。目前的数字是被拆除的祭坛中唯一幸存的元素。整体效果一定相当出色，在多色和镀金中谨慎地挑选了肤色和细节。
介绍（英）	Honestone is a type of limestone with a fine texture and yellow-gray coloration that make it eminently suitable for imitating the qualities of human flesh. It frequently was used for sculpture during the Renaissance in upper Bavaria, where it was quarried. In the same period cherubic shieldbearersw ere much in vogue for altars. We can posit that this lad was originally an angel (holes for his wings, which were perhaps made of gilt metal, have been filled in the back) and that he stood steadying his shield, carved with the ducal arms of Saxony, high on the top left of an altar. The heraldic insignia are actually presented in reverse for a decorative reason: they no doubt faced the armorial device sustained by a fellow shieldbearer at top right. The present figure is the only element of the dismantled altar known to survive. The whole must have been quite splendid in effect, with skin tones and details picked out sparingly in polychromy and gilding.
