Crucified Christ. Ivory, ebony wood. Possibly French school, 19th century. Christ crucified with three nails, a Crown of Thorns with several intertwined branches and a loincloth with a cord, which is fixed to a Latin-style cross made of wood and with no other decorations than the INRI sign (JESUS NAZARENUS REX JUDAERUM, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) located above Jesus' head. Note that there is no wound on his side. The entire piece is carved from ivory, and the nails mentioned (two in the hands, one for the feet) are made of metal. The piece bears similarities to works from the French school of the 19th century. Although it resembles only in some details (general posture, hands) carvings by Desirée Manceau (act. Paris, late 19th-early 20th century), it is worth highlighting its greater resemblance to ivory crucifixes from the workshop of A. Leroy in Brussels preserved in private collections (loincloth, posture, absence of prominent wounds, etc.).
