Plaque with the Descent from the Cross in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010

Plaque with the Descent from the Cross in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2010
Plaque with the Descent from the Cross
Ivory, whalebone, and traces of gold and paint
Carved in northern France (probably Paris), about 1320-1340

Accession # 17.190.199

The ivory figures are mounted on a sheet of whalebone. This plaque is part of a series of Passion carvings that are now dispersed among Antwerp, Oslo, Paris, London, and New York. The entire sequence was probably once set in an architectural frame, forming an altar frontal.
