Christ hangs on the Cross in the centre with, over his head, a scroll inscribed 'Jesus of Na/ zareth/ the King/ of the Jews'. On the right Mary Magdalene clasps the Cross while St. John and the Virgin Mary stand beside her. On the left there is a bearded, partly draped man holding a sponge on a staff (traditionally known at Stephaton), a Roman soldier in armour on horseback (known in the Eastern and Greek Orthodox tradition as St. Longinus) and another partly visible mounted man holding a banner engraved with a single-headed spread eagle. Behind the cross on both sides there are clouds, those on the right supporting two cherubs. At the foot of the Cross there is a skull and below that a plain area engraved with the signature. The edge is slightly raised and chased with a narrow band of chevron decoration. The plaque is mounted in an oval frame of ebonised wood with moulded border and turquoise velvet inner rim, and a hinged, brass support. On the back of the frame are two labels. A paper label laid on card behind a glazed frame is inscribed 'Bequeathed to John Towneley,/ by her Grace Catherine, Dutchess of/ Norfolk, who departed this life on the/ 21st Novr. 1734 -/ R.I.P. (The inscription has been strengthened by a later hand, changing the correct date of 1784 to 1734.) A second lable, which is torn, bears the name of W. Range 'W.
