More Details
Of the considerable number of Byzantine ivory caskets which have survived from the Middle Ages the Veroli Casket from the Victoria and Albert Museum is the finest. The casket is decorated with scenes from classical mythology and provides a valuable record of the heritage from Greece and Rome so carefully cherished at Constantinople in medieval times. In this book Mr John Beckwith, Deputy Keeper in the Department of Architecture and Sculpture, places the Casket in its historical and literary context and shows some of the models which may have served the artist at work.
