The corpus is mounted on a dark-stained wooden cross, which is set into a multi-tiered, stepped wooden base. Above the corpus, a small angled plaque is affixed to the cross, bearing the Latin inscription "INRI, " translating to "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum" ("Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews"). A thin decorative metal band, possibly brass, is present on the central tier of the base. The overall style is traditional devotional.
