Plaque with the Crucifixion between Longinus and Stephaton and Personifications of the Sun and Moon

German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 304

This plaque was probably originally part of a pulpit or altar frontal. An enamel palette of blue, green, red, and white and lively engraving delineate the figures and their clothing. Contemporary enamels from the Limoges region of France inspired the composition.
