| 520 | _a"Ivories Ancient and Mediæval" by William Maskell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the art and significance of ivory carving from antiquity through the medieval period, discussing various types and uses of ivory in different cultures and timeframes. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in art history, archaeology, or the material culture of past civilizations. The opening of the text outlines the foundational aspects of ivory carving, beginning with a discussion on the materials used, including both true ivory from elephants and other alternatives like walrus tusk. Maskell introduces the historical context of ivory production and its significance through examples, such as references in biblical scripture, and elaborates on the varying qualities between types of ivory. He also highlights the rarity and grandeur of certain historical pieces, noting that many were preserved due to their association with wealth and status. Through this exploration, the author sets the stage for a detailed examination of the artistic evolution and cultural implications of ivory across ancient and medieval societies.
