The plaque depicts an awe-inspiring scene of Christ enthroned, flanked by two prominent Apostles - Peter and Paul. Crafted with exquisite detail, this carved ivory masterpiece is a testament to the skill and artistry of its unknown creator. The image captures the close-up view of Christ seated on a majestic throne, radiating divine authority and grace. His presence is further enhanced by the figures of Saint Peter and Saint Paul standing beside him in reverence. Their expressions reflect deep devotion and unwavering faith. The vibrant colors adorning this decorative piece add depth and richness to its overall composition. Its intricate design serves as both a religious symbol and an embodiment of medieval craftsmanship. Housed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork represents not only France's rich cultural history but also serves as a significant relic from the Middle Ages.
