The image displays a detailed stone sculpture depicting the Entombment of Christ, located within the Church of Our Lady of the Chapel (Notre-Dame de la Chapelle) in Brussels, Belgium. The scene features five figures carved from light-colored Avesnes limestone, set against a dark architectural background. In the foreground, a deceased male figure, identified as Christ, lies recumbent on a draped surface. He is nude save for drapery covering his lower body, with closed eyes and visible long hair. To the left, a bearded male figure, wearing a turban and robes, leans forward, his hands positioned near Christ's upper torso, one appearing to hold an object. Center-left, a female figure with a veiled head holds a small, round vessel in her right hand, gazing downwards. To her right, another veiled female figure holds a small, ornate, cylindrical vessel in her left hand, also looking downwards. A fifth male figure is partially visible on the far right. The sculpture rests on a dark, polished stone base. Above the figures, a dark, recessed architectural niche with a curved archway is visible. The arch's inner surface features a decorative, geometric pattern with remnants of green and golden pigments. The stone exhibits signs of age and discoloration.
