Italy (Tuscany), circa 1300-1350. Poplar, remnants of original polychromy. According to the canonical gospels, Jesus, the Christ, is arrested and tried by the Sanhedrin, then sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged and finally crucified by the Romans. Jesus is stripped of his clothing and offered wine mixed with either myrrh or gall to drink before being crucified. He is hung between two convicted thieves, and according to Mark's Gospel, dies some six hours later. During this time, the soldiers affix a sign to the top of the cross stating "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," which, according to the Gospel of John, is in three languages. They then divide his garments among themselves by casting lots or, according to the Gospel of John, divide his garments and cast lots for his seamless robe. After Jesus' death, one soldier pierces his side with a spear to be certain that he has died, only as recorded in the Gospel of John. The Bible describes seven statements made by Jesus while he is on the cross, as well as several supernatural events that occur. This object is part of "Scan The World."
