Ivory Sculpture ( Fragment)
Text
Left arm of the Crucified with a stem also made of ivory, to be inserted into the shoulder. Tiny vein modeling on the inner face and hole of the hand for the nail of the cross, and carved fingernails.
Additional Analysis:
Due to the invoice and the way of representing the fingers, it can be identified as a colonial, Hispanic-Filipino piece.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
