It once formed the central panel of a book cover, possibly an evangelistary. The figure of Christ and the heads of the Virgin Mary, St John and the two witnessing angels overhead are embossed and chased in low relief and attached to the slightly convex surface of the plaque by studs. At top centre, the nimbed hand of God descends from a cloud over the titulus, IHS/XPS, an abbreviation for Jesus Christ in Greek, and the skull of Adam is shown on the Cross below Christ's feet. This refers to the legend that the Cross was erected on the burial place of Adam, also the belief that through the sacrifice and resurrection of Christ, humankind might be redeemed from sin, and gain eternal life. Through this iconography the book cover proclaimed the message of the text within, and provided a focus for meditation on the transitry nature of earthly life. reference term-107871 adlib-term-107871 78553be6-c810-30a1-9ba7-23f9a8a00947 13th Century reference term-10603 adlib-term-10603 09088083-a78d-3d70-9f4f-343b5c3283d7 Medieval reference term-15498 adlib-term-15498 61725bf5-360f-3837-8aab-3c90b956a537 literal France France country literal Haute Vienne Haute Vienne region Limoges Height cm 23 Width cm 10.2 reference media-3172431236 portfolio portfolio-media-3172431236 8d2a4401-dd6b-3c27-8139-444526704b2f jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/140/large_M_34_1904_200710_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1886 width pixels 1024 1529370646000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/140/mid_M_34_1904_200710_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 921 width pixels 500 1529370646000 1 image M.34-1904_200710_mfj22_mas.JPG 1529370646000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/140/preview_M_34_1904_200710_mfj22_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 460 width pixels 250 1529370646000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/140/M_34_1904_200710_mfj22_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 3873 width pixels 2103 1529370646000 1 image 0 <primary>1</primary> <type>main title</type> <value>Limoges enamel crucifixion with the Virgin, St John and angels</value> media image reference media-45833653 portfolio portfolio-media-45833653 c7b9a6f7-16d5-38bc-b47c-981334b06a3b jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/144/large_M_34_1904_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1345 width pixels 1024 1529370653000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/144/mid_M_34_1904_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 657 width pixels 500 1529370653000 1 image M.34-1904_mas.tif 1529370653000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/144/preview_M_34_1904_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 328 width pixels 250 1529370653000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/505/144/M_34_1904_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 5563 width pixels 4234 1529370653000 1 image 1 <primary>1</primary> <type>main title</type> <value>Limoges enamel crucifixion with the Virgin, St John and angels</value> media image reference term-107484 adlib-term-107484 935e21d3-0b7f-3ca6-9987-b79c82e054fd plaque history note Purchased in Milan by Frank McClean reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. p. 103-4, no. 55, illustrated pl.
