The weeping Mary is cloaked in a robe of black.
She, together with the dead body of Jesus are surrounded by eight weeping angels surround them in an arc, like a rainbow.
At the bottom lies the crown of thorns. There is also a white cloth covered in the blood of Christ. There is also a pitcher of water.
