The corpus is cast in soft relief with the head bowed, and a rayed disc spreads behind it at the crossing. Light runs along the raised edge of every point as the piece moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small banner-shaped titulus sits above the head, lettered \u003cstrong\u003eINRI\u003c\/strong\u003e.
