Black-and-white out of focus photograph of a statue of crucified Jesus Christ with long, curly hair and a cloth wrapped around his waist, slightly off center in the photo. On pedestals below the cross stand two robed figures, heads tilting toward the cross. The left figure is partially cut off by the photo edge while the top of Christ's head meets the photograph's top edge. To our right is a lit candle and, below, flowers.
