The sculpture depicts Jesus Christ crucified on the cross, with an INRI plaque above his head. Jesus has a somber expression, a crown of thorns, and a cloth around his waist. The colors are naturalistic: Jesus is a light flesh tone, and the cross has natural wood tones with red and green accents. Flanking the cross are two smaller figures on a black base. One figure is draped in a red robe with an apron, the other in a green robe with a red cloak. The figures are simplistic in style. The material appears to be wood, given the carving details and painted surface. The sculpture has a traditional and folk-like aesthetic, with vibrant colors and stylized forms.
