Christ Carrying the Cross (Panel from an Altarpiece)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts Christ carrying a large black cross, flanked by two men. Christ is barefoot and wears a loincloth. He is positioned in the center, with one hand on the cross and the other on his chest. The man on Christ's right wears a short tunic and turban, holds a rope attached to the cross. The man on Christ's left wears a short tunic and turban, holds a stick. Three women stand behind Christ on the right, with hands clasped in prayer. Four people are behind and above Christ and the two men, looking on. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or wood, with a weathered appearance. The background is dark gray. The title of the work is "Christ Carrying the Cross" and the artist is unknown.
