Description:
Wine press squeezes the standing body of Christ as blood spurts from his five wounds. Hanging on either side of the press are the instruments of his flagellation on the right and on the left the tools used to secure him to the cross. A sword lays on the ground in front of the press and on top of it is the basin and pitcher used to wash his body, the sponge on the stick which gave him sustenance, a glove from a suit of armor and a spear.
