This is a dark, textured relief sculpture showing a group of six men. One man in the center stands out, holding a rope around his neck, while others stand or kneel around him. The figures wear robes and crowns, and one small child clings to the central man’s leg. The central figure’s face looks calm but serious, while the others seem tense or worried. The details in the fabric and expressions are carved deeply, giving it a dramatic, almost three-dimensional feel. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this strong light-and-shadow effect works.
