From the museum record

These plaques were probably originally placed at the end of the arms of a processional cross. They are decorated in an enameling technique called basse-taille in which colorful translucent enamel pastes are fused over an engraved and chased silver plaque.

Lupin’s visual index

Two intricately crafted enamel panels depict scenes from the Annunciation and Crucifixion, showcasing vibrant blues and golds in a Gothic style.
