Ivory Statuette of a Reclining Woman in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, October 2010
Title: Ivory statuette of a reclining woman
Medium; Technique: Ivory
Culture: Roman
Period: Late Imperial
Date: 3rd–4th century A.D.
Dimensions: Overall: 1 1/2 x 2 7/8 x 1 1/8 in. (3.8 x 7.3 x 2.9 cm)
Classification: Miscellaneous-Bone, Ivory
Credit Line: Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1917
Accession Number: 17.190.67
Description:
Ivory carving has a long history in the ancient world. The material, although regarded as a rare luxury, was used for practical objects such as handles, pins, and boxes, as well as for works of art. In late Roman times, pagan or secular subjects gradually gave way to Christian images, and ivory became a prestige medium in Byzantine art.
