St. Anthony of Padua was born in the end of the 12th century in a wealthy family of Lisbon, but devoted his life to church. As a young man, he left for a missionary journey to Morocco, Africa, but he was stricken down by a severe illness and was compelled to sail back. The stormy sea drove his ship to the Sicily Island from where Anthony journeyed to Assisi where he became a member of the Order of Grey Friars.

Even some alleged miracles are connected to his person; the best known legend speaks about Anthony's sermon on a Rimini beach where even fish put their heads out of water to hear the preacher's words.

Drík rozšíren ve spodní cásti o dvojici stlacených volut, v horní cásti o patky techto volutových bocních nástavcu. Na profilované desce zakoncující drík je jednoduchý podstavec, mírne konvexne vykrojený, na kterém stojí socha sv. Antonína. Socha v podživotní velikosti, esovite prohnutá, váha tela spocívá na pravé noze, levá noha odlehcena a mírne viditelná z plášte; hlava mírne naklonena k levému rameni a ruce, ve které drží malého Ježíška, pravou ruku mu lehce pridržuje nožicky. V téže ruce má i zlatou snítku ratolesti. Kutnu tvorí narasená drapérie, kolem pasu ruženec a cingulum. Kolem hlavy sv. Antonína i Ježíška je svatozár, kovová pozlacená obruc. Díte - Ježíšek sedí na levé ruce sv. Antonína, rukama jej objímá kolem krku, tiskne celo na jeho tvár.
