Relieve del Descendimiento de la Cruz

ca. 1320–40
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 306
Este relieve de marfil aplicado sobre una hoja de barba de ballena forma parte de un conjunto de cinco placas con escenas de la Pasión de Cristo, ahora dispersadas en museos de Amberes, Londres, Oslo y París. Probablemente se montaron sobre un soporte arquitectónico (como también se hacía con placas de piedra o madera) para formar un friso en la parte inferior de algún retablo. La refinada factura de este relieve, los ademanes enfáticos y elegantes, las cabezas abombadas, y los pliegues de los ropajes, indican que fue tallado en París durante la primera mitad del siglo XIV.
