Descent from the Cross
Adam Lenckhardt (German, 1610–1661) · 1653
Carved from a single elephant tusk, the artist took special care to ensure the ivory did not crack or break as he meticulously crafted each figure in this visually exciting sculpture. Look closely to find tools and small objects included near its base.
