Created around 1480, this oak carving stands at an impressive height of 83 cm and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Master Arnt's attention to detail is evident in this piece as he portrays an angel dressed as a deacon, donning a choir robe.

The late Gothic style shines through in every intricately carved feature, showcasing Master Arnt's mastery over woodwork. This artwork serves as a powerful symbol within Christianity and offers viewers a glimpse into the religious significance surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus.
