Christ crucified with three mask-like heads on vertical axis of cross. The top head wears a skull cap, the middle head wears a crown, and the bottom head is a skull. The cross is being consumed by a red demon enveloped by flames, suggestive of hell. The cross is flanked by an angel on the left, and the destruction of a temple on the right.
