The unconsecrated monument was marked by the bouquets of flowers, junipers, fir-tree branches. That bouquet could be removed only after consecration. The small statuettes of 15-70 cm height were put inside miniature chapels or pillars with chapel. Large size sculptures were put inside ground-built chapels. Height of such sculptures reached 1 metre and sometimes more.
All statuettes are coloured.
Polychromy supplements the form, adds new element of decoration, makes clear or changes the expression of faces. Mary prevail in Samogitian sculpture. Themes of saints were taken from ecclesiastical iconography, but they were interpreted according to the god-maker s wish. But in spite of rather free interpretation of themes, masters tried to adhere to exact iconographical attributes as a main factor of recognizing the certain theme. Monuments with statuettes of saints reflected religious conception, the world outlook, ethical and aesthetical views of common people.
