These portable carvings have found their way to some prominent museum collections, like that of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; the Prado, Madrid; the Bargello, Florence. Most often the carvings depict scenes from the life of the Virgin or of Christ (see the example above). The example below is more unusual. In two scenes from the Old Testament, the heroine Judith beheads Holofernes, and then her maid takes away the head in a bag, to hide it.
