Description
The work is made of marble and stands at 5 feet 7 inches. Built around 1960, it depicts Jesus Christ standing and wearing a robe and mantle. His head is bowed slightly and his eyes are closed. His arms are stretched in front of him with the palms of his hands facing upwards towards the sky. It stands upon a base made of brick and stone.[1]
Condition
The piece was surveyed in 1993 by Save Outdoor Sculpture!. It was described as being "well maintained."[1]
gollark: It's a shame we're so averse to nuclear stuff, or my watch could go from "battery replacement needed every 7 years" to "*nuclear* battery replacement every 100 years".
gollark: Not yet, not yet...]
gollark: It seemed like such an innocent idea - embedding small radioisotope generators in SSDs so if the power fails they can continue writing from their buffers, or run routine maintenance tasks. But little did they know that some SSDs would explode when they hit end-of-life...
gollark: Randomly exploding *nuclear-powered* SSDs.
gollark: Some of them might randomly explode, some of them might go into read-only mode, some of them might go into read-only mode early when you've hit the end of the manufacturer-given lifespan and then nuke themselves.
