This painted crucifix shows Christ on both sides, alive on one and dead on the other. He is surrounded by the Virgin Mary, saints, and evangelists. The double-sided decoration indicates that this object was meant to be seen from various angles when carried in processions or displayed during mass. Orioli may have painted it for the Franciscan confraternity (brotherhood) of San Girolamo in Siena, which he joined in 1481.
