Catalogue of Carvings in Ivory, Part 2 is a comprehensive and scholarly reference work detailing the extensive collection of ivory sculptures held within the Victoria and Albert Museum's Department of Architecture and Sculpture. Compiled by the esteemed art historian Margaret H. Longhurst, this volume provides an in-depth exploration of the craftsmanship, iconography, and historical context of ivory works from the late medieval period through the Renaissance and beyond.
The catalogue serves as an essential resource for art historians, collectors, and students of the decorative arts. It features meticulous descriptions of numerous artifacts, including religious diptychs, secular caskets, and intricate statuettes. Each entry examines the stylistic nuances and regional characteristics of the carvings, offering insights into the evolution of ivory working techniques across Europe and the Near East. By documenting these fragile and precious objects, the work preserves the legacy of one of the world's finest collections of small-scale sculpture. This volume remains a foundational text for anyone seeking to understand the artistic significance and enduring beauty of ivory as a medium for creative expression throughout the centuries.
