Statue of Saint James (with a shell, the symbol of pilgrims on his dress), from a counterfort of the apse of the so-called Black Church in Brasov. Commissioned by the museum in 1913, the cast was made by József Reichenberger. It was exhibited in the Romanesque Hall. In 1985, it was transferred to the Hungarian National Gallery.
