This is a detailed bas-relief sculpture depicting the Flagellation of Christ. The scene is set within an arched niche decorated with floral motifs on a light-colored, textured surface, likely a facade or wall. The central figure, Jesus Christ, is shown from the waist up, naked from the chest down, with a loincloth of white fabric. His hands are bound in front of him by a thick rope, and he is being pulled downwards towards a large, dark, cylindrical pillar or basin by two men. His head is bowed, and his face is turned downwards, suggesting suffering. To the left of Christ, a man in a dark tunic and cap holds a rope that is attached to Christ's hands. He is pulling on this rope and appears to be part of the group restraining Christ. To Christ's right, another man, bare-chested and wearing tattered brown shorts, holds a whip with multiple thongs in his right hand, raised as if to strike. His left hand is also raised. Behind Christ, two more men are visible. One, in a reddish-brown tunic, is pulling on Christ's torso from the left. Another man, in a dark green tunic, stands behind Christ, also with his arms raised, possibly holding another implement or gesturing. Above the scene, there is a dark, barred enclosure with the faces of three individuals peering out through the bars. To the upper left of the scene, a torch or flame-like object is depicted, attached to a dark, architectural element. The entire relief is set against a dark, textured background that simulates a rough wall or stone surface. The floor in the foreground is depicted as tiled or paved with square blocks. The overall condition of the sculpture shows signs of age and weathering, with chipped paint and worn surfaces. The archway surrounding the relief is likely part of the architectural design of a building in Prešov, Slovakia, possibly part of a Kalvária (Calvary) complex, which often features such devotional sculptures.
