This image depicts a detailed bas-relief wood carving, located in Podolsk, Russia, portraying a religious narrative scene. The carving is rendered in light brown wood with significant depth and smooth, rounded forms. On the right side, a standing male figure, identifiable as Christ by a halo and beard, is positioned in profile, facing left. He wears a draped garment revealing his bare chest and right shoulder. His left hand holds a tall staff topped with a cross and a small triangular banner. His right arm is extended forward at chest height, palm open, seemingly in a gesture of instruction or gentle repulsion. His left foot is slightly forward. In the center-left, a female figure, likely Mary Magdalene, kneels on her right knee, facing Christ. She is adorned in a flowing robe, with stylized wings visible behind her shoulders. Her arms are outstretched towards Christ, her left hand reaching towards his extended right arm, while her right hand is open. To the far left, two additional robed figures with large wings, presumably angels, are seated or posed behind the kneeling female, observing the central interaction. The background features rugged, stylized rock formations at the top and left, with a cavernous opening or tomb entrance on the left. On the right, slender, stylized trees with sparse foliage are carved into the scene. The foreground consists of a rocky ground plane. The overall composition suggests a moment of divine encounter or resurrection, possibly the "Noli me tangere" event.
