A bas-relief depicting the tomb after the resurrection of Christ. The tomb is rocky with an arched opening and two steps leading up to it, with the fallen tomb door on the left at the foot of three cedar trees. To the right of the tomb sits an angel in robes with spread wings, the proper right hand upraised with a finger pointing upwards. A tree, possibly a fig, is on the right side of the relief. The relief is contained in frame-like fashion on the base. The base has an inscription from the Gospel of John on the top, and flanking columns with Corinthian capitals.
