The figure of St Martin in a bishop's robe holding a book in his hand is carved in relief on the front side of a Roman altar. The relief was built into the wall around St Martin's church in Senj. On both sides of the upper part of the figure the carved glagolitic inscription reads: SVETI MARTIN (Saint Martin).
Donated in 1905 by Konrad Zimpermann, mayor of Senj.
