Описание: This is a detailed study of Byzantine ivory carving during an era when work in that medium reached its highest level of attainment. Unique in its aim and range, the volume considers how, when and why the Byzantines used ivory for icons and other luxurious items. Based on direct study of the objects, the book discusses more than 150 pieces and is illustrated with new photographs that provide an understanding of carving techniques and styles.

The author analyzes the normal working methods of Byzantine carvers, as well as aspects of craftsmanship that enable the identification of specific sculptors. These observations are then made the basis of both a revised chronology and a more rigorous system of classification than has existed heretofore. Similarities and differences within this body of production allow answers to such broader questions as the functions of craftsmen in this society, their relations with clients and designers, and, ultimately, the significance of ivory in the visual culture of Byzantium.
