Plaque: The Crucifixion

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Crucifixion by an Unknown Artist. A white sculpture depicting a Christian scene, on a silver base. The sculpture is made of white material, possibly ivory, and features a scene with three main figures. The central figure is a man on a cross with his arms outstretched. He is wearing a loincloth and has a halo above his head. On either side of him are two smaller figures, one on the left and one on the right, both dressed in long robes. The figure on the left appears to be a woman with her hands clasped together, and the figure on the right is a man with his hands clasped together. The sculpture has a decorative top with Gothic-style arches and a silver base with intricate designs. The background of the image is black.
