Christ Crucified

Christ Crucified in carved ivory. This presents the Christ figure with raised face and mouth and eyes slightly open. The right leg is crossed until the foot rests over the left foot, with both being fastened by a single metal pin. Anatomically very correct in carving and with great quality in the delicate and minute work on the hair, the loincloth and the details of the face. The figure is set on a cylindrical Latin cross totally covered by tortoiseshell plates on reddish sealing wax.
