The Crucifixions and crucifixes have appeared in the history of art and popular culture since before the era of the Roman Empire. On this occasion the figure of Jesus is shown expiring with a stark anatomy. He is nailed with three nails, with his head slightly tilted to his left side, with the short purity cloth, with abundant broken folds, which is knotted at his right hip dropping one of its ends. The head is of oval type, with long wavy hair, falling over her left shoulder, with crown of thorns braided in large skeins on the forehead, closed eyes, almost straight eyebrows, long nose, small mouth and sharp beard. His canon is elongated, whose torso clearly marks the ribs; and the limbs are rather thin, with hands that tend to close, and crossed feet.
