Central Portion of a Tabernacle
Unknown
ca. 1275–1300 · Ivory · Medieval Art
The profusion of small ivory tabernacles, such as this one, carved withthemes relating to the glorification of the Virgin, in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Paris strongly suggests that these pieces derive from large altarpieces now lost.
