Description

The collection of medieval ivory work of the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt is one of the largest of its kind. It includes many prominent pieces like the fragment of a sky ride from the Hofschule Charles the Great, a relief from the so-called Magdeburg Antependium Emperor Otto I, the Byzantine box with the presentation of the Alexander legend and the Asturius-Buchdeckel from St. Martin in Liege. Most of the objects come from the Cabinet of Cologne scholar and collector Baron von Hüpsch. The collection and the catalog include a number of previously unshown Gothic ivory works.
