The Flagellation by Moderno. A rectangular bronze plaque with a dark brown patina. Two arches are in the background, with a column between them. A group of figures in the foreground depicting a scene of flagellation. A central figure, with a crown of thorns on their head, is being whipped by two figures on either side. The central figure is bare-chested and restrained by a rope. The figure on the left is wearing a helmet and a loincloth, and holding a whip. The figure on the right is shirtless and wearing a loincloth. Several other figures are present around the central figure. The plaque has a rough, textured surface and a decorative border. The background of the image is a gradient of gray.
