The image depicts a triptych icon showing The Crucifixion with a central panel and two side panels. The central panel shows Jesus Christ on a cross; he is naked apart from a loincloth. His head is tilted to one side. A halo surrounds his head. Above the cross, a smaller image shows a man with long hair and a beard. The side panel on the right shows a man on one knee with a halo around his head. He wears a pink robe. The side panel on the left shows three people with halos around their heads; they wear robes, and their heads are covered. The background of all panels shows a city scene. The icon has a decorative border with intricate metalwork and enamel details in shades of blue, green, and white.
