Crucified Christ
Description
Crucifixes became, from 17th century CE onwards, an essential presence on Christian altars, especially in India. Baroque influence can be seen in the treatment of the loin-cloths, which became highly elaborate,
suspended by a thick cord which barely brings the two ends of the material together.
