Adoration of the Magi (Gothic boxwood altarpiece)

The Adoration of the Magi altarpiece is a small Gothic boxwood miniature, made in the Netherlands c. 1500–1530, attributed to the workshop of Adam Dircksz (also known by the Latin name Adam Theodrici or Adam Theodrisi, a common misspelling when referring to his name). Such rarefied and highly ornate objects were intended for private devotion, and took, by modern art historian estimates, decades to complete, periods equivalent to the entire career of a medieval master carver. Just around 150 of these sculptures from the late 15th and early 16th centuries remain today, and the elite echelons of collectors in the 19th century placed a high value on them despite the fact that it is unknown how many of them were manufactured.

The boxwood is held by Wallace Collection in London, where it is describes as "one of the most important works from the mysterious workshop of Adam Dircksz".
