This is a small ivory-and-bone triptych from around 1400–1425. It shows Jesus on the cross in the center, carved from bone and horn. The side panels are plain, keeping the focus on the scene. It’s one of several triptychs the Embriachi workshop made to sell in Venice. The workshop was run by a Florentine family that also traded goods and handled diplomacy. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of their work.
