At the top is Christ enthroned surrounded by Elders of the Apocalypse; the enthroned Virgin and Child appear on the opposite side. Angels dressed as deacons populate the two central registers. In the lowest register, the installation of the bishop, for whom this crozier perhaps was made is depicted. The richly animated drapery and technical virtuosity of the carving are almost without parallel in Romanesque ivories. Elements of its style and iconographysuch as the highly unusual inhabited mandorla surrounding Christcan be found in Northern Spanish art.. Segment of a Crozier Shaft 469860
