At the Cloisters

This 15th-century limewood carving of Jesus
on a Palmesel (German for palm donkey)
was used in Palm Sunday processions reenacting
Jesus' entry into Jerusalem on a donkey.
(One curious thing about this statue: I don't
 think I've ever seen Jesus depicted with
 a receding hairline—have you?)
