The word Corpus means 'body' in latin. The eyes are closed and the feet are nailed together. The nimbus and loin-cloth are gilded. The loin-cloth is short, folded in horizontal folds, and knotted to the figures left in a looped, pleated fold. It is believed to date to the 16th century. The red velvet-covered cross dates from a later period. More.
