Crozier head Curl of a bishop's staff with Crucifixion and Virgin and Child, On the disk-shaped upper part of the staff a leafy sprig sprouts from a vine that curves into a curl. This ends in an elongated leaf motif, which in turn connects to the twig above the head of a kneeling angel, who is placed with the back and wings against the lower part thereof. In the curl Mary with child standing between two torch-bearing angels standing back to back with Christ on the cross between Mary and John. Christ and Mary are used to each other, she raised her left hand with gestures and held her right in front of her. Johannes carries a book and dries his tears with the right hand. Above the cross sun and moon half covered by clouds. On the downside, Mary has a bird in the right hand and on the left arm the child who reaches for the bird with one hand and holds an apple in the other, Christ with Mary and John on either side of the cross, Holy Red, Mary standing (or half-length), the Christ-child on her arm (Christ-child to Mary's left), anonymous, Paris, c. 1350 - c. 1400, ivory, cutting, h 30 cm h 21.5 cm × w 10.6 cm
