The image displays a rectangular wooden bas-relief carving, framed, depicting a religious scene with multiple figures in a stylized landscape. The carving exhibits deep relief and a consistent medium brown wood tone. In the right foreground, a standing male figure, identifiable as Jesus Christ by a halo (nimbus) and iconography, faces left. He has long hair and a beard, and a flowing garment is draped around his waist and legs, leaving his upper torso bare. His left hand holds a tall staff topped with a cross and a banner (vexillum). His right hand is extended downwards and forward. In the center-left, a winged figure, adorned in flowing robes, kneels on a rocky surface. This figure extends its left hand upwards, meeting and grasping the extended right hand of Christ. Its right arm is also extended forward, slightly bent at the elbow. To the left and slightly behind the kneeling figure, two additional winged figures are depicted seated or reclining on an elevated, rocky outcrop. They wear flowing robes and appear to be observing the interaction between the central figures. The background of the carving features stylized landscape elements. Behind the figures, rocky formations and what appears to be a cavernous opening or structure are carved. The upper portion of the carving depicts stylized clouds or rock formations, while a cluster of stylized trees is visible on the far right. The foreground beneath the figures consists of uneven, rocky ground. The specific location of this carving within the city of Podolsk, Russia, cannot be determined from the provided image.
