Place of origin |
This rectangular ivory plaque is engraved and inked in with a depiction of the Holy Family with St Anna, St Elizabeth and the infant St John the Baptist. The composition is probably loosely based on a sixteenth-century engraved source, but in style it is clumsy, and is almost certainly a nineteenth-century fake.
