Ivory Plaque with Christ Presenting the Keys to Saint Peter and the Law to Paul in the Cloisters, October 2010
Christ Presenting The Keys to Saint Peter and The Law to Paul
Date: 1150–1200
Geography: Made in Westphalia, Germany
Culture: German
Medium: Ivory
Dimensions: Overall: 5 15/16 x 3 3/8 x 3/8 in. (15.1 x 8.5 x 0.9 cm)
Classification: Ivories
Credit Line: The Cloisters Collection, 1979
Accession Number: 1979.399
Description: The theme of Christ handing the keys of heaven to St. Peter and the law to St. Paul, which originated in fourth-century Rome, refers to the establishment of the Church as stated in Matthew 16:18: "I also tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church." The parable highlights the importance of SS. Peter and Paul and, by extension, that of St. Peter's successors, the bishops of Rome. In this powerful interpretation, a domed structure replaces the rock on which Christ is more frequently depicted. The dramatic expressions, the fluid, clinging drapery, and the openwork carving are characteristic of German Romanesque ivory carving. The inscription, including the date 1200, is later.
