A silver stone, attributed to St. Stephan.
Jan Zrzavy, 28 Jul 2002

St. Stephen was one of the seven deacons, appointed by the Apostles to distribute goods among the poor people of the first Christian commune. He was accused of blasphemy and after a sham-trial was found guilty and stoned to death, see Acts 6, 7.
His attribute is a stone, painted by van Eyck as a "dalmatic" pressed together (a dalmatic was the tunic, in which the deacons were dressed) - just like the stone on the Kvilda CoA.
