A comprehensive study of a wide range of Andalusian ivory artefacts from the Middle Ages. As well as examining the Late Roman background to Hispano-Muslim ivory working, the book gives weight to the full chronological span of muslim rule in Spain, although it does not ignore the most famous pieces from the 10th and 11th centuries. The corpus which is presented allows new insights on production and its social and political contexts, on chronology, and on iconographic considerations
