A carving of the dying Christ made of polychrome wood, of a devotional nature. The figure is depicted with his arms raised, his head tilted to one side, and his body slightly slumped, accentuating the drama of the scene. Notable features include the anatomical rendering of the torso, with its soft modeling, as well as the cloth of purity, rendered with broad folds and light polychrome.
