Christ Crucified [reverse]

Giovanni Martino Hamerani

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a relief sculpture of Jesus Christ on the cross at the center of an oval medallion. Jesus has outstretched arms and a serene expression, with light rays behind his head. Latin inscriptions are below and around the scene. The sculpture appears to be made of a golden or brass-colored material, with fine details and skilled craftsmanship. The medallion has a loop at the top for hanging or displaying.
