Crucifixion Panel

2006AM6059_jpg_l. This panel representing the Crucifixion was probably made in the late 10th century or early 11th century in England. The representation of the Crucifixion with Longinus and Stephaton alone, without the Virgin and St. John, as on this panel, is not common on ivories of the tenth or twelfth centuries. The composition of this panel is characteristic of the representations in Celtic art. A unique feature would be that the nimbi are given to Longinus and Stephaton.
