The arms flare wide and end in sprays of stylized leaves, cut with the flat, sharply stepped edges of deco ornament rather than the soft curl of baroque foliage, while the shaft between them is left clean and the corpus is slim and finely modelled. The effect is deliberate and unhurried, with the ornament kept to the ends and the figure left clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove the crossbar a shaped shield carries the titulus, unusually legible for a piece this size: \u003cstrong\u003eIN\u003c\/strong\u003e over \u003cstrong\u003eRI\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Latin \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
