Photograph of a fictile ivory plaque containing a depiction of a religious scene. At the centre of the scene is a full length depiction of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Christ in her left arm. She stands between two angels beneath a Gothic arch. Above the Virgin Mary is an angel who reaches down towards her. His left hand is missing, Two angels stand on either side of the arch.

The plaque is made of fictile ivory. Fictile ivories are casts of objects made from ivory. The casts are usually made from Plaster of Paris. Fictile means something that can be, or is, moulded, and is pliable or flexible.
