The sculpture depicts Jesus Christ crucified on a cross. The figure is in a traditional pose with arms outstretched and nailed to a dark brown or black cross. The material is painted to resemble natural human skin tones and textures, with details like hair and wounds marked with blood. Jesus wears a simple loincloth painted in a lighter color. Above his head is a plaque with the inscription "INRI" in black letters on a beige background. The sculpture is presented in a realistic style with detailed anatomical features and is mounted against a neutral background.
