Crucifix.
Is described as A cast iron and copper figure of Christ wearing a crown of thorns and a loincloth, crucified on a metal I-beam cross painted white.
On the cross above Christ is a plaque inscribed "INRI." The sculpture name is inscribed and set within a planter base with a triangularly-shaped back wall.
The sculpture of the crucifix (the figure of Christ) was done by the artist and added to the cross, which had already been at the church for more than four years.
