Sculpture
This is one side of an intricately carved ivory diptych. The upper register of the piece shows the Crucifixion; the lower depicts the Nativity. Scenes from Christ’s birth and death were often paired as a shorthand reference to key moments in the Christian narrative. Luxury ivories were produced in France in large numbers during the 1300s.
