Carved Ivory Crucifix In A Gilded Frame
Exquisitely hand-carved from ivory, a natural and luminous material highly prized in sacred sculpture, the figure of Christ is rendered with exceptional anatomical detail and a reverent expression – hallmarks of the master craftsmen of Dieppe. The crucifix is surmounted by a finely crafted INRI plaque, symbolizing the inscription placed above Jesus at the crucifixion – Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum – “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” No missing pieces. The gilded wooden frame. Christ height 11 cm. Frame dimensions 33/21 cm.
