Plaque with the Ascension, ca. 1050, Made in Rhineland, Germany, German, Ivory, Overall: 4 1/16 x 3 9/16 x 1/4in. (10.3 x 9.1 x 0.7cm), Ivories, The Ascension of Christ, that moment forty days after his resurrection when he ascended bodily into heaven, was a favored theme among carvers of ivory plaques in the early Middle Ages. The subject seemed to lend itself to an array of visual interpretations: though artists repeatedly turned to the subject, they never settled on rote depictions
