Reverse description The risen Christ depicted emerging half-length from a decorated sepulcher, his arms extended outward in a gesture of benediction. A Latin cross rises prominently above the figure, its arms flanked by hanging drapery or sudaria, rendered in the expressive late medieval manner. The scene is set within a plain inner border, with the Latin motto legend surrounding the entire composition along the outer rim, punctuated by pellet stops. The reverse conveys a strong devotional character consistent with Renaissance Italian ecclesiastical iconography.
