The profusion of small ivory tabernacles, such as this one, carved withthemes relating to the glorification of the Virgin, in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Paris strongly suggests that these pieces derive from large altarpieces now lost.
Georges Hoentschel (French, Paris 1855–1915); J. Pierpont Morgan, London and New York (until 1917)
