Unused, still sealed in publisher's original shrinkwrap.

Reproducing faithfully the features of the human body relating to its movement, they stand apart from other sculptural images of the crucified Christ in their exceptional degree of realism. Used throughout the liturgical year, they played a special part in the Paschal Triduum, when they were used in theatricalised liturgical and paraliturgical ceremonies, as well as in mystery plays. -- Contents: I.
