Image description

This thin ivory panel originally functioned as the cover of a set of writing tablets. It is carved in the back with a shallow recess to hold wax, which could be reused by simply smoothing the wax down. The Nativity scene recurs with slight variations on many contemporary ivories, as for example on the Passion diptych in the Courtauld’s collection.
