---

Devotional Diptych with the Nativity and the Adoration, ca. 1500, Made in Paris, France, French, Silver, niello, gilt copper alloy, Overall: 5 1/2 x 8 3/16 x 1/4in. ( x x ), Metalwork-Silver, The scenes on this diptych find an echo in the pages of a printed Book of Hours. It is perhaps not surprising that the same workshop should produce the designs used for both the book and the diptych: each is a small object, in black and white, meant to be held in the hands during private prayer
