Description: Rectangular carved ivory panel. Christ Pantocrator is represented half-length and full-face, wearing a tunic and pallium. He holds a book in his left hand and has his right hand raised in blessing. Behind his head are the three upper limbs of a gemmed cross (crux gemmata), the surfaces chequered in the same way as the book in Christ's hand. Narrow acanthus borders run horizontally along the top and bottom of the panel. There are two holes in the lower border close to the corners, another in the top left of the top border, which also has a split in the middle. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | panel sculpture Unknown | Temporal: | name=second half of 10th century; start=950; end=1000 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
