Description:
Wooden board, covered with velvet with metal-work. The border has four oval crystals at the angles. In the centre of each of the foul' sides is an oblong strip of enameled metal, bearing decorative designs. Those on R. and L. are longer than those at top and bottom. The intervals between these and the crystals are occupied by eight square panels of filigree work, set with stones: those at top and bottom have four stones apiece, the others have five: 36 in all. Four of these are antique intaglios.
The centre has a border of gilt metal, sloping inwards, and stamped with square paterae of foliage in low relief, all of one design. The centre is occupied by a panel of what is said to be some soft white stone. It is somewhat damaged, and I am not certain as to its antiquity. It represents the Crucifixion. The cross is tall: the figure of Christ has cross nimbus: His feet rest on a suppedaneum, above the heads of the figures in the foreground, and are nailed with two nails. His body is carefully modeled. The Cross has blank title, and two half-length angels are above it: not the Sun and Moon. Below, on left, stand the Virgin and St. John: on right, two Roman soldiers, one with raised broken arm, pointing upward. A skull is at the foot of the Cross. Behind these figures are, on left, two weeping women: on R., three men, two with spears, the third with sponge on reed.
