Note du spécialiste

The present relief was attributed by Jaap Leeuwenberg to an anonymous sculptor whom he dubbed the Master of the Agrafe Forgeries (J. Leeuwenberg, 'Early Nineteenth-Century Gothic Ivories' in Aachener Kunstblatter, 39/1969, Dusseldorf, pp. 111-148). Although he argues for a dating to the late 18th or very early 19th century for the group, some scholars still contend that the ivories are genuine products of the gothic era.
