Crucified Christ

South Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304

The base for the cross is decorated with images of the four evangelists, shown as they write the Gospels. Their symbols—angel, lion, ox, and eagle—appear to the right of each. Such crosses were common on altars in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and elaborate examples became a specialty of goldsmiths working in the area of the Meuse valley.
