The outlines are in black. The reverse has clear counter-enamel. Christ hangs on a gold Cross with ‘INRI’ written in gold on a white panel over it. He wears a green crown of thorns and a white drape which is being blown out on either side by the wind. Blood pours from the wounds in his head, hands, feet, and side. At the base of the cross there is a white skull with black eye sockets. On the left the Virgin stands with her hands together in prayer, looking away from the Cross. She wears a white wimple, and a pale blue mantle over a mulberry dress. St John stands on the right holding a bluish-green book with both hands, and looking towards the Virgin.
