Depiction of Mary with the dead Christ on her knees (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pieta

(Other definitions for pieta that I've seen before include "Statue of Virgin Mary" , "Sculpture or painting of Mary praying over body of Jesus" , "Sculpture of Mary with Christ's body" , "weeping figure" , "Religious depiction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
