Aufsatz, Schnitzarbeit, Filigranarbeit, Heiliges Grab

2. Hälfte 16. Jahrhundert

The ivory object represents the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It is an excellent example of the technical virtuosity and perfection which was looked for in chambers of art and curiosities. This work exhausts the structural possibilities of horn-turning. Inside the little house, Jesus Christ is lying in state.
