Carved from part of an elephant tusk, the box carries New Testament episodes: Gabriel's announcement, Jesus entering Jerusalem, Lazarus restored to life and a blind man healed. An altar with chalices also appears, possibly pointing to use in worship. It is displayed in room 105.
Slovy muzea
Elaborately carved from a section of an elephant’s tusk, this ivory pyx (Greek for "box") depicts a number of New Testament scenes, namely the Annunciation, Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, Christ raising Lazarus, and Christ healing the blind man. It also depicts a Christian altar with chalices, possibly indicating the box’s use in a liturgical context.
