Depicted Baroque Virgin Mary sculpture group (Sousoší Panny Marie) decorates main public space of town Príbor - Sigmund Freud Square (Námestí Sigmunda Freuda).

The statue of Virgin Mary with Infant Jesus, unveiled and consecrated on September 14th 1713, stands on a high double rectangular pedestal. Dressed in a pleated robe, she’s keeping Baby Jesus on her lap. Her left foot is resting on the globe. This sculptural group is protected with a conical stone balustrade.

On the right hand of the Virgin Mary statue there’s a statue of St. Roch. It stands on a pedestal, its sides are decorated with so-called volute wings. Roch is portrayed as a bareheaded man wearing a pilgrim’s robe, with a money pouch at his waist and a dog at his feet.

On the left hand of the Virgin Mary there’s St. Florian statue standing on an identical pedestal as the one of St. Roch. Florian is dressed in a Roman soldier’s armour; with his right hand he’s pouring water from a vessel over a burning house; in the other hand he’s holding a flag.
