The Crucifixion 

This anonymous, undated, and unattributed "Crucifixion" is a small-scale, portable devotional object likely used for personal prayer. It is created using the technique of niello, where a black, silver sulfide paste is inlaid into engravings in a metal surface, often silver, and then polished to reveal the design. The piece is decorated with intricate floral patterns that highlight the central image of Christ on the cross. The surrounding buildings, landscape, and other elements of the scene are rendered in a simple but expressive style. The small size, ornate design, and theme make it a typical example of devotional art made for private use in the late Medieval period.
