Stonemason: Péter Diószegi from Cluj, 1632
György Sükösd, born in 1589, was a notable member of the Unitarian nobility, who in 1628 served as the envoy of Prince Gabriel Bethlen. Sükösd's sarcophagus is distinguished by its rare typology in Transylvania, with the sarcophagus itself complemented by the epitaph of the deceased. The closest analogies to this type are known in Poland from the first half of the 16th century. The funeral monument is notable for its complex decoration, featuring the recumbent figure of the deceased on the sarcophagus lid. The front side is adorned with bas-reliefs of the three Christian virtues — Faith, Hope, and Charity — as well as the cardinal virtue, Justice, depicted as female figures. One of the short sides of the sarcophagus is decorated with a flat relief representation of Memento Mori. This funeral monument is a specific piece of the pre-modern period in Transylvania, with the entire ensemble created by a stonemason, including the figurative details. The result is a valuable ensemble in terms of the formal quality of the architectural details, decorated with a series of figurative details elaborated in a skillful yet naive manner.
