AN INTERESTING ENGLISH GOTHIC STYLE CARVED IVORY TRIPTYCH, 19TH CENTURY. This finely carved triptych would appear to be based on the mural painting in the Chichester Cathedral, Chichester, England, West Sussex by Lambert Barnard (1485-1567) as commissioned by Bishop Robert Sherburne in the first part of the 16th century, and later reproduced in print (1807). It depicts the 7th century Wessex King Caedwalla, shown at right on the central panel wearing crown and holding a scepter, confirming rights and territories to Bishop Saint Wilfrid, depicted at left with halo and tonsure and on the same arched central panel. The left wing depicts the Bishop’s entourage, holding his mitre and crosier and the right wing depicts the king’s attendants. Carved in high relief with good proportions, perspective and detailing and later set in a hinged wooden frame with solid back. Height of ivory 12.25 inches (30.5 cm). Overall dimensions 13.6 x 8.75 inches (open) (34.4 x 22 cm).
