Haus Zum Breiten Herd, Renaissance building at Fischmarkt, Erfurt, Germany.
The stone relief frieze on the facade presents five female figures representing human senses, each accompanied by specific animals and objects.
Heinrich von Denstedt, the town bailiff and council master, commissioned the construction of this merchant house in 1584.
The sculptural program includes representations of sight with an eagle, sound with a deer, smell with a dog, taste with a monkey, and touch with a falcon.
The building stands at number 13 Fischmarkt in the old town district, near other historical structures of medieval Erfurt.
The smell allegory panel contains a detailed representation of medieval Erfurt in its background, providing a rare view of the city's past appearance.
