Sculpture
This figure was part of a group of images making up a Descent from the Cross, which in Catalonia has the peculiarity that it is made up of seven characters. Two of the carvings are kept at the museum and the rest at the Museu Episcopal de Vic. In the centre was the figure of Jesus Christ held by Joseph of Arimathea and unnailed by Nicodemus, flanked by Mary and Saint John, on either side, and the thieves, Dismas and Gestas, at the ends. The subject of the Descent adds a more narrative and dramatic feel to the representation of the Passion of Christ, probably related to liturgical drama. The museum's collection preserves images from Descents from Santa Maria de Taüll and from Durro, both in the Vall de Boí.

Imatge de Maria d'un grup del Davallament de la Creu, tallada en fusta i amb restes de policromia. Presentada dempeus, apareixia sostenint el braç dret de Crist amb la mà esquerra, mentre que amb la dreta, probablement amb un receptacle, recollia la sang de les ferides del crucificat.
Sculpture
Image of the Virgin carved in wood, with remains of polychromy, that was forming part of a group of the Descendent from the Cross, probably constituted by seven figures: Christ, the Virgin, John the Evangelist, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus and two thieves. Standing in her feet, she might support Christ's right arm with her left hand, whereas, with the right arm she was gathering the blood up from the wounds of the crucified with a kind of receptacle.
