A Passion scene depicting Christ's body being placed in the tomb after the Crucifixion.
The Entombment represents the burial of Christ, usually with Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, the Virgin, Saint John, Mary Magdalene, and other mourners. It follows the Deposition and Lamentation in the Passion sequence.
Etymology
From Old French entomber, “to place in a tomb.”
Sculptor Notes
The horizontal body of Christ often becomes the principal compositional axis. In relief, the sarcophagus or tomb edge can establish a strong architectural baseline against which the figures bend, kneel, and lower the body.
