Taken from the account of John 19:38-42, Joseph of Arithmea and Nicodemus as well as other followers of Christ remove Jesus` body from the cross upon his pronounced death.

This is a spiritual and beautiful piece designed with care using the lost wax method. It is a wall plaque, perfect for rooms and hallways. The piece is signed by the artist Jean Patoue.
