What are the origins of the imagery and designs on common jewelry
and portable artwork between late antiquity and the Middle Ages?
These dynamic centuries encompass the transformation of the
Greco-Roman world into the nascent kingdoms and medieval states
upon which most modern European nations are based. But the choices
of jewelry and other forms of personal expression amongst the lower
classes in ancient times is notoriously difficult to contextualize
for a number of reasons. Nonetheless, these precious articles were
expressions of individual identity as well as signifiers of one's
rites of passage. As such, they reflect not only the people who
wore them, but also the social milieu and artistic trends impacting
their lives at that moment in time. This new study assists in
identifying the types, origins and routes of transmission of
personal artwork, particularly finger rings, across Europe and
Byzantium from late antiquity to the late middle ages, an area of
study that has been neglected in previous works. Some of this
material represents the first time relevant research from Central
and Eastern Europe has been translated and made available to the
general reader in the English speaking world.
