Any idea as to the Age or Theme of this panel please !.

Approx 24cm x 16cm and made of wood. Someone has drilled a hole in the back to hang it. Appears to be hand carved !. Any info will be much appreciated

Lovely. Obviously it's a crucifixion, but it might be a saint rather than Christ.
I'm wondering if it's Welsh.

Strangely enough Naomi i bought it in a North Wales Carboot ! . . .

Just found this, so I think it's Manx or North Wales -

Possibly carved for the front of a bible box/cover.

That's Fantastic, it's so similar, even the figures holding what appears to be a spear is in the right place. I know that the panel i have may just be a copy but it looks to be an old copy if it is !!!.
Great Detective work Naomi ...

Also could be Irish: cf. "Inishkea Crucifixion Scene", and "Celtic Crucifix", on this webpage: http://www.historicimpressions.com/Irish.htm

Worth sending a photo to the Museum of Dublin to get a date.
