Although they do not survive intact, composite statues of gold and ivory were the most acclaimed art form in classical antiquity. Greek and Roman authors make their religious, social, and political importance clear. This study, the first to address the topic as a whole since 1815, presents not only literary references to lost works, but also representations of them in other media, and more importantly, fragmentary survivals that elucidate the techniques employed in their production and the quality achieved by their creators.
