The Entry of Christ into Jerusalem : A Gothic Ivory

Abstract

"The final decades of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth saw a rediscovery by European and American collectors of an aesthetically pleasing and historically informative class of objets d'art, the Gothic ivory relief. Of the numerous ivories of medieval origin which have since found their way into public galleries and museums relatively few have been published. Here is presented an example recently acquired by the Museum of Art and Archaeology of the University of Missouri."--First paragraph.Includes bibliographical reference
