Triumphant over death, the risen Christ carries his cross as an emblem of his great sacrifice. Mary Magdalene gazes at Jesus with joy, while Peter falls to his knees.

Sculpted in cedar wood, the relief panel is hand painted with oil colors and receives applications of gleaming bronze leaf. A metal hook at the back facilitates hanging.
