EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Ivory Pyx (Box), dating back to the 6th century Byzantine era. Carved meticulously from a section of an elephant's tusk, this ivory pyx serves as a visual testament to the rich religious history it represents. The intricate details on this box depict significant scenes from the New Testament, including the Annunciation, Christ's entry into Jerusalem, raising Lazarus from death, and healing a blind man. These powerful depictions are complemented by an image of a Christian altar adorned with chalices, suggesting that this pyx was utilized in liturgical practices. Measuring at approximately 12.70 cm wide and 8.50 cm high, this remarkable artifact is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Its acquisition was made possible through funds provided by J. H. Wade. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we cannot help but marvel at both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. The delicate relief work on ivory transports us back to an era where faith played a central role in people's lives. This image serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space while preserving cultural heritage for generations to come. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its profound spiritual symbolism within Christianity.
