10,9 x 7 cm (with suspension loop)9,6 x7 cm (without suspension loop)This first half of the 17th-C. devotional plaque is based on a late 16th-C. or early 17th-C. Spanish plaque. The very popular and much appreciated iconography ('Ecce Homo': three-quarter length figure of Christ bound, wearing the crown of thorns and holding the mock sceptre) appears very frequently in 17th-C. religious works of art as it represents nicely the baroque taste.Ref.:- A very similar plaque is since 2012 by a gift of Joseph G. Reinis part of the 'European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Collection' of theMetropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), New York, United States, No. 2012.545.3, link.Literature:- I.
