The image presents a monochromatic artwork featuring a prominent crown of thorns at the top, intricately detailed with sharp, overlapping spikes. Below this striking centerpiece, two human handprints are distinctly visible, with the palms facing upwards, suggesting a gesture of offering or surrender. The background appears textured, adding depth and interest to the scene.
