Jesus seems appeased, as if only asleep, contrasting strongly with XVIII th c Corpuses where He is shown in agony.

The afterwork and modeling is of high-quality for a figure of this size, as displayed by the chiseling of the hairs and the hammering of the drapery. Probably fire-gilded, some traces remaining. Four suspension holes, one behind the head.
