Catalogue Note
Cette belle plaque de Crucifixion est tout à fait comparable aux ivoires allemands de la Meuse ou Rhénanie, datant de la première moitié du XIVe siècle. L'attitude des Saints Apôtres à droite peut être comparée à une Crucifixion en ivoire de la Meuse, provenant de l'ancienne collection Corroyer (musée du Louvre, inv. no. OA 7760) ou un autre ivoire de la région de la Meuse, conservé au musée provincial des Arts anciens à Namur (inv. no. 253).
