Ivory Panel with Christ's Entry into Jerusalem in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, August 2008

Ivory Panel with Christ's Entry into Jerusalem in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, August 2008
Ivory Panel with Christ's Entry into Jerusalem
Carved 900-925 in northern Italy, perhaps Milan

Accession # 17.190.50

Probably part of a large narrative cycle in the life of Christ, this ivory shows his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This incident, in which the populace hailed him as king with palm branches and cloaks, launches the sequence of events that lead to his death.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
