Color photographs display the V\u0026amp;A's significant collection, which is especially strong in Carolingian, Anglo-Saxon, and English Romanesque examples. Following an essay on the V\u0026amp;A's collecting and study of these masterpieces, the book features major works from every era of the period: the Symmachi Panel from late antiquity; the front cover of the Lorsch Gospels from the Carolingian era; the Ottonian Basilewsky Situla; the Veroli Casket from 10th-century Byzantium; the St Nicholas Crozier; the enigmatic whalebone carving of the Adoration of the Magi from the Romanesque 12th century; and numerous others. Each entry provides a full physical and scholarly discussion, synthesizing the exist-ing literature and incorporating new research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Praise for MEDIEVAL IVORY CARVINGS: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A summation of a lifetime's involvement with the study of medieval ivories and a triumph of scholarship - one of the defining publications in the field.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Art Newspaper\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The end result is the nearest thing to perfection attained in any catalogue of ivories today.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWest 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture (Bard Graduate Center)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The volume is, in sum, not simply a catalogue of ivories but a fundamental contribution to the history of medieval art.\" \u003ci\u003eThe Burlington Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A superlative achievement, setting a high standard for all future catalogues and making an immense contribution to scholarship.\" \u003ci\u003eSpeculum: Journal of Medieval Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Victoria \u0026 Albert Museum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47581685842071,"sku":"9781851776122","price":15675.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781851776122.webp?v=1774920887","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/medieval-ivory-carvings-early-christian-to-romanesque-9781851776122","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
