La Virgen y el Niño entronizados

ca. 1300
Not on view
Esta escultura, que rivaliza en importancia con el crucifijo del siglo XII (63.12), marca el apogeo de la talla del marfil en Inglaterra. En esa época de fervoroso culto a la Virgen se popularizaron las figuras devocionales como esta, de pequeño tamaño aunque de estilo similar al de la estatuaria catedralicia. París era un reputado centro de producción de tallas de marfil; muy pocas son de origen inglés. El tono oscuro del marfil puede deberse a la aplicación de aceite de nogal—como lo recomienda el tratado del siglo XII On Divers Arts—o a la exposición a un calor intenso. Solo quedan restos de la figura del Niño Jesús sobre la rodilla izquierda de su madre.
