Christ Entombed originates from the Convento de Santa Clara. The remarkable execution, combined with harmony of composition and the realism of the figure, heralds the beginning of tomb sculpture of the 15th century. This laying figure is one of the most impressive portrayals of the deceased Christ with a serene, yet serious face, half-open lips, hands crossed over the body, knees adjoined and feet raised. The body is wrapped in a thin cloth covering the head and exposing the feet. The cloth drapes over the sides of the tomb, delineating three niches that hold slumbering soldiers, dressed in chain mail with their swords and shields, in the manner of the period.
