Beeld - Ivoor, Zilver - Tweede helft 19e eeuw

Christ in ivory on ebonized wood base. Crown holder in silver with 12 stars (15 cm diameter). Beautiful purity cloth. Exquisite "memento mori", intact, with a high level of carving (height of the skull 2 cm), very rare, since the high value that is given in the Asian market from the. 17th century caused its removal from most of the Europeans crucifixes for sale. At the bottom of the stand there is the coat of arms of the House of Orleans, in tempera paint. The set measures: 60 x 22 cm. Measures of Christ: 19 cm high (from feet to hands), 16.5 cm (from head to toe); 14 cm wide.
