A unique crucifix with Christ dressed in a manicata tunic, with a crown on his head and a burning heart. This type of representation refers to the medieval crucifixions in the type of Volto Santo (Holy Face). Such a presentation of Jesus as alive, without visible signs of warmth, is characteristic of the triumphal crucifixes, emphasizing the victorious aspect of Christ's sacrifice.
