A Bishop 1740 - 1800

This small ivory statuette, created by the Haly workshop between 1740 and 1800, depicts a Bishop holding a crosier, a symbol of his authority. The intricate detail of the Bishop's robes and the realistic depiction of his face are hallmarks of the workshop's style. This miniature sculpture, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry of the Haly workshop and the enduring power of religious imagery.
