THIS BEAUTIFULLY CARVED ivory panel presents the familiar stories of Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) and Mary of Magdala s encounter with Jesus at his tomb (John 20:13-18).
Another, later dialogue even has her questioning the gardener at Jesus' tomb--Eastern tradition puts Mary, not Mary of Magdala, in this encounter.
To our right, under that oak tree are Jesus, Peter, Paul,Elizabeth the First, Joan of Arc, Gandhi and Mary of Magdala.
