A sculpture of a bearded Christ, from the waist up, crowned with thorns and draped in a red cloak tied with rope at the right shoulder. His hands, bound together by a rope hanging from his neck, are crossed in front of him, right hand over left. His head tilts to his right, the viewer's left; his mouth is slightly open, and two tears fall from his left eye. Clutched against his waist and extending from his right hand is a stick or reed.
