A frieze of rosettes separates the two scenes. Meuse or Rhineland, end of the 13th century Height: 13.3 cm - Width: 5.7 cm - Thickness: 0.9 cm in the center - Weight: 64 g The somewhat rough workmanship and the style of the head of Christ make us think of a realization far away from the Parisian workshops, perhaps in Meuse or Rhineland.
