Right Leaf of a Diptych with the Crucifixion
(Medieval Europe )
The scene is placed beneath three trefoil arches and shows the Virgin at the left and John at the right, with the sun and moon above. The bending pose of the Virgin is unusually exaggerated.
There are remains of broken silver hinges, and an original diagonal hole at the top for hanging.
