Relief of the Crucifixion of Jesus (with base)

Jesus, the Christ, was seized by Roman authorities, put on trial before Pontius Pilate, and condemned to a brutal flogging followed by crucifixion. After being stripped of his clothes, Jesus was offered wine laced with gall to drink before he was nailed to the cross. He hung between two convicted thieves for six hours, according to Mark's Gospel, until he finally succumbed to death. Meanwhile, Roman soldiers affixed a sign above the cross bearing the title "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" in three languages. They divided Jesus' garments among themselves but cast lots for his seamless tunic. After Jesus' passing, they pierced his side with a spear to confirm that he had indeed died. This relief is displayed at the convent of Saint Agnes located on the right bank of Vltava in Prague's Old Town area known as "Na Františku". The monastery of Poor Clares of the Order of Saint Clare and Franciscans was founded by Agnes of Bohemia, who also became the abbess of the convent. She established the monastery in 1231. Agnes of Bohemia, also known as Agnes of Prague, was a medieval Bohemian princess who chose to lead a life of charity, mortification of the flesh, and piety over one of luxury and comfort. Although she was revered soon after her death, Agnes was not beatified or canonized for over 700 years. This object can be downloaded without a base from here.
