This figure, impressive in spite of or perhaps because of its fragmentary nature, depicts Christ crucified with His head leaning to one side in death. The fine quality of the piece is evident in the detailed depiction of the body, with its elongated proportions and parallel legs, as well as the exceptionally precise rendering of the hair and the folds of the perizonium, whereby the broad wound in Christ's side and the painted droplets of blood increase the work's expressiveness.
