Diptych with scenes from the life of Christ c. 1375

This ivory diptych, created in the 14th century, showcases six scenes from the life of Christ. The intricate carvings, set within a delicate Gothic framework, depict events such as the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. This artwork is a prime example of the exquisite craftsmanship and religious devotion that characterized ivory carving during the late Middle Ages. The small size of the piece suggests it was likely a private devotional object, intended for personal reflection and prayer. Ivory diptychs like this one are often found in museums around the world, offering a glimpse into the artistic and religious practices of the past.
