Depicted fresco-CoA of Jan Šultys of Felsdorf decorates front facade of architectonically valuable Renaissance burgher house called "U Mramoru" ("At Marbles") in Kutná Hora. The CoA on the facade is unfortunately displayed incorrectly, the sides are reversed and the spinning tops are displayed as diamonds.
Jan Šultys of Felsdorf / Jan Šultys z Felsdorfu (1560, Slaný - June 21, 1621, Prague) was a Kutná Hora mayor, a member of the Directorate of the Czech Estates during the Estates Rebellion (1618–1620) and one of the 27 Czech insurgents exemplary executed after a lost battle on the White Mountain. He was executed as 14th from 21 victims of post-White Mointain terror and as 5th from the middle class.
"U Mramoru" house was constructed at the site of two older Gothic houses, acquired by the rich Kutná Hora burgher Sigmund Stejšek-Freisichselbst of Freidnpach in 1563-1576. A badly built Renaissance gable collapsed in 1590 and during subsequent repairs a unique portal with decorative tympanum and Corinthian columns was created. The facade is decorated by valuable frescoes by František Vysekal (1911) with three scenes from the life of Kutná Hora mayor Jan Šultys of Felsdorf, living in this house and executed on the Old Town Square in Prague in 1621. House is also interesting from heraldic point of view - it is decoradted by several coats of arms: portal by stone CoA of house builder Sigmund (Stejšek) Freisichsselbst of Freidnpach and facade by fresco CoAs of famous Kutná Hora citizens and house users: Jan Šultys of Felsdorf, Kourimský of Vecín and Mikuláš Dacický of Heslov.
