"Christwurz (Hellebore)" is a woodcut print from Hans Weiditz, II's *Herbarium (Kräuterbuch)*, a series of woodcuts created in 1532. It is a detailed botanical illustration of a hellebore plant, which is native to Europe and Asia, and historically recognized for its medicinal properties. The image showcases the plant's intricate details, highlighting the flower, leaves, and root system with a stylized depiction of its natural colors. *Herbarium (Kräuterbuch)* was designed as a guide to plants, with text descriptions accompanying each image. Weiditz’s work was a popular resource for herbalists, apothecaries, and naturalists in the 16th century.
