Drieluik van ivoor met voorstellingen uit het Nieuwe Testament en drie andere religieuze objecten van ivoor, opgesteld op een tentoonstelling over religieuze objecten uit de middeleeuwen en renaissance in 1864 in Mechelen before 1866

This photograph by Joseph Maes, taken before 1866, showcases a collection of religious objects from the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The central piece is a triptych, or three-part altarpiece, carved from ivory and depicting scenes from the New Testament. The triptych is flanked by two smaller ivory pieces. These objects, likely displayed at an exhibition in Mechelen in 1864, highlight the artistry and religious devotion of these historical periods. The photograph, captured in black and white, emphasizes the intricate detail of the ivory carvings and their importance in the context of religious practice and artistic expression during these eras.
