Flemish 18th century

An 18th century Flemish carved ivory Corpus Christi

Carved in the round, the arms visibly attached. A depiction of Christ crucified with four nails with His arms stretched upwards and His legs parallel. The fine and detailed rendering of the facial features, body, hair, crown of thorns and perizonium testify to the exceptional quality of this piece.
Slight yellowing on the reverse, otherwise in pristine condition. Height 21 cm, width of arms 9 cm.
