Relevo com a descida da cruz

França, provavelmente Paris

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 306

Este relevo de marfim da Deposição aplicado sobre um pedaço de osso de baleia faz parte de um conjunto de cinco placas com cenas da Paixão de Cristo, exibidas agora em vários museus da Antuérpia, Londres, Oslo e Paris. Elas formavam um friso contínuo no fundo de um retábulo, embora seja improvável que as cinco placas tenham tido a mesma origem. À época, as placas de marfim, pedra e madeira eram montadas sobre suporte arquitetônico. A refinada incrustação da placa de Deposição, os gestos imponentes e elegantes cabeças abobadadas e dobras dos trajes, indicam que foi esculpida em Paris durante a primeira metade do século XIV.
