This ivory crucifix, created before 1866, depicts the figure of Jesus Christ on the cross. It was originally located in the episcopal chapel of Ghent and was photographed for an exhibition in 1864 in Mechelen, Belgium, focusing on religious art from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The artwork was likely created by Joseph Maes, a Belgian artist known for his religious sculptures. The crucifix exemplifies the use of ivory as a material for religious art during this period.
