"Ivoire: A Journey Through Time and Art" Step into the world of ivory, where exquisite craftsmanship meets historical significance. From Byzantine art to Ancient Egypt, this captivating material has been used to create masterpieces that have stood the test of time. In Byzantine Art, a binding plate portrays Jesus Christ crowned Emperor Otton II, showcasing the intricate details and symbolism that characterized this era. Another stunning example is a 14th-century Virgin and Child Ivory sculpture, radiating grace and spirituality. Traveling back in time to Ancient Egypt, we witness Ethiopians bringing their tributes before the Pharaoh. The richness of ivory is evident in these offerings, symbolizing wealth and prestige. Moving forward, an engraving reveals a side of an evangeliaire's ivory cover preserved at the Imperial Library. This delicate artwork showcases the fusion of religious devotion with artistic expression. From Cordoba comes a pyxide (box) belonging to Al-Mughira; its intricate ivory carvings reflect Islamic influences on Spanish art during this period. The beauty of miniature painting on ivory shines through in portraits like that of Louis XVII as a dolphin or Jeanne Becu du Barry. These intimate artworks capture moments frozen in time with remarkable precision. A diptych depicting Stilicho, Serena, and Eucharius showcases how ivory was used for storytelling purposes during ancient times. Each figure tells its own tale within this small yet powerful medium. An engraving takes us inside Russia's State Treasury where an exquisitely carved chaise sculptée stands as a testament to both luxury and craftsmanship. Lastly, we delve into Kushite culture where tributes made from gold, ivory, and animal skins were presented at the Tomb of Rekhmire - evidence of trade routes connecting civilizations across vast distances. Ivoire serves as not only an artistic medium but also as a window into history itself. It invites us to appreciate the skill, creativity, and cultural significance that ivory has held throughout centuries.
