Flemish 18th century

An 18th century Flemish carved ivory Corpus Christi

Carved in the round, the arms visibly attached. With minimal remains of former partial polychromy. A depiction of Christ crucified with three nails with His arms spread wide apart and His head tilted to one side. The fine rendering of the figure is particularly evident in the carving of the perizonium and the expressive corporeality of the figure.
Slight yellowing on the reverse. One fingertip lost, otherwise in pristine condition. Height 21 cm, width of arms 15.5 cm.
