O soše
Crucified Christ, a wooden figure from the late fourteenth century, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Linen covers the carving beneath its colored paint. The scale indicates a church setting, probably suspended above an altar and turned toward the choir. In medieval churches a large cross often hung over the altar while a smaller one stood on it. These crosses made the subject of the Mass visible, though liturgical rules did not require them. The carving's style suggests Navarre in northeastern Spain. On view in gallery 110B.
Slovy muzea
This carved wooden corpus of Christ was covered with a layer of linen and painted with vivid colors. Given its large scale it would have been intended for display in a church. Most likely it was suspended high over an altar facing the choir.
During the Middle Ages, a monumental cross was often hung above the altar, and a smaller cross placed upon it. While not required by the liturgy, these crosses were visible symbols of the subject and focus of the Mass. The style of the corpus would suggest it comes from Navarre in northeast Spain.
