Over de sculptuur
The apostles on the present plaque seem to be inspired by those on the central west doorway at Saint-Denis, of about 1140, and the overall composition is probably modelled on the central doorway of the 'Royal Portal' of Chartres Cathedral, of 1145-50.
The maker of these plaques was revealed to be Francisco Pallás y Puig of Valencia (1859-1926), an extraordinarily gifted and versatile ivory carver who produced works not only in the Romanesque style, but also in Late Gothic and Cordovan manner.
In the years around 1907, a number of ivory plaques in the Romanesque and Early Gothic style appeared on the Paris art market.

Three of these plaques which appeared on the Paris art market, including the present plaque, showed Christ in Majesty with the four Evangelist symbols, and one illustrated St Peter and another apostle twisting to confront one another (this reappeared on the London art market in 2002). All of these plaques were loosely based on 12th century prototypes but do not copy them.
