This volume, the second catalogue of the Wyvern Collection,
celebrates an outstanding group of medieval ivory carvings and
small sculpture, the finest assemblage of its kind in private
hands. The book has pieces from every period of the Middle Ages,
including rare examples from the Early Christian era; spectacular
panels from the workshops of tenth-century Constantinople; objects
produced by the celebrated carvers active in south Italy in the
eleventh and twelfth centuries; and several important pieces from
the Romanesque period. At the heart of the collection is an
outstanding group of Gothic ivories whose highlights include one of
the most important secular medieval ivories discovered in recent
years. The collection also features a number of small amber,
hardstone, jet, wood and mother-of-pearl carvings. In addition to
their virtuoso craftsmanship, many of these objects have
illustrious histories as part of famous aristocratic or
ecclesiastical collections. This is a precious opportunity to study
these miniature masterpieces.
