Probably made for a rural church, this nearly life-size Christ is crudely carved, but the very simplicity of the figure contributes to its intensity and power.  The arms are necessarily made from separate pieces of wood.  The thin, elongated body, stretched arms pulled from their sockets, and pained expression go beyond ordinary realism to emphasize the enormity of Christ's sacrifice.
The crucifix would originally have hung itself or with the mourning figures of the Virgin and John the Evangelist below.  Here, it hangs with the panels of a German Passion altarpiece that originally had a sculpted central section.  That sculpture, however, would have been stylistically more sophisticated.
