This exquisite piece of art and craftmanship is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The intricately detailed ivory sculpture portrays Jesus Christ in all his divine glory, with an aura of serenity emanating from his presence. Clasping the sacred Bible firmly in his hands, he symbolizes wisdom and enlightenment. The vertical composition emphasizes the significance and reverence associated with this religious iconography.
