Ivory, carved in relief with the Judgement and Denial of St Peter: to the left, Pilate wearing a mantle is seated on a raised throne with high back, his hands over a basin into which an attendant pours water from a ewer; in the middle Christ carries his cross towards the right, urged forward by a soldier; to the right St Peter is seated on the ground before a brazier, above him on a bracket is a cock, and behind him the female servant pointing at him. Elephant tusks—exotic, rare, and characterized by a pearly lustrous surface, were prized in medieval Europe for carving into luxurious objects.
