A fine Byzantine ivory panel that makes an impressive use of space. In the center is the Crucifixion, with Christ fully robed and not much suffering, flanked by the sun and moon. At bottom left, the Virgin Mary and St. John are present at the scene. On the bottom right, an angel greets the Holy Woman at the empty tomb on Easter morning. At top right is the Ascension and at top left is Christ in Majesty with the Four Evangelists.
