This is a digital restoration of an exquisite ivory crosier, unearthed during the meticulous archaeological excavations of the historic abbey of Ename in Belgium. The remarkable object has been classified as a Flemish Masterpiece and was carefully extracted from the abbey site in 1995, where it now takes center stage at the Ename museum. Between 1175 and 1390, the crosier suffered a significant breakage, which was subsequently expertly repaired - for further insight into this fascinating process, please visit https://sketchfab.com/models/686f6e1d7970469fb446f33991f89b24.
