EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of an Anglo-Saxon ivory relief known as "Virgin and Child (walrus tusk)". Measuring 9.5x5.7 cm, this delicate piece is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary seated on a majestic throne with her divine child, Jesus Christ, cradled in her arms. Two angels gracefully support the throne from below while two more above offer caskets, although their upper bodies are fragmentary due to age and wear. At the Virgin's feet, a serpent cowers symbolically. Notably three-dimensional in nature, this sculpture exemplifies the renowned Winchester style prevalent during the Anglo-Saxon Period (AD 400 - 1066). The intricate details carved into this walrus tusk reveal both skillful artistry and deep religious devotion. As you gaze upon this print, you can't help but be captivated by its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a testament to the artistic achievements of early English culture and offers us a glimpse into their spiritual beliefs. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every nuance of this remarkable artwork for your enjoyment. Let it transport you back in time to an era where faith and art intertwined seamlessly; where ivory was transformed into ethereal depictions of love and divinity.
