Christ Carrying the Cross by an unknown artist. A rectangular plaque with a raised relief scene. The scene depicts Christ wearing a long robe and bare feet, carrying a large cross. He is surrounded by several figures, some of whom are dressed as Roman soldiers. Two soldiers are on either side of Christ, one of whom is holding Christ's robe. Christ's face is contorted in distress. In the background, a cityscape is visible with buildings and a wall. The plaque has a dark metal frame. The relief is made of a light-colored stone or ivory, with a textured surface. The background of the image is dark gray.
