Cleveland Museum of Art

Rectangular ivory panel with two scenes. The panel is divided into two sections by a horizontal line. The top section features two scenes under Gothic arches. On the left, a man rides a donkey, surrounded by a group of people. The man on the donkey faces right, with his right arm outstretched. A dog runs under the donkey. On the right side of the top section, a man carries a cross, with another man and a woman to his right. The bottom section features a scene with four people and an arched Gothic background. Three people surround a man lying on a flat surface, with one person at his head and two at his feet. The panel has a beveled edge and a light-colored background with darker veins. The panel's surface exhibits signs of aging and wear. The background behind the panel is dark gray to black.
