Plaque with Christ Presenting the Keys to Saint Peter and the Law to Saint Paul ca. 1150-1200 German The theme of Christ handing the keys of heaven to Saint Peter and the law to Saint Paul, which originated in fourth-century Rome, refers to the Gospel of Matthew (16:18): "I also tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church." At the same time, it highlights the importance of Saint Pauls mission to the Gentiles. In this powerful interpretation, a domed structure, perhaps representing the heavenly Jerusalem, replaces the rock on which Christ is depicted more frequently. 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 of later origin.. Plaque with Christ Presenting the Keys to Saint Peter and the Law to Saint Paul. German. ca. 1150-1200. Elephant ivory. Made in Westphalia, Germany. Ivories-Elephant
