A NOTE ON AN UMAYYAD CARVED IVORY PLAQUE KEPT AT THE WALTERS ART GALLERY

View through CrossRef
This paper proposes an iconographical and stylistic analysis of a carved ivory plaque kept at the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore (acc. no. 71.62). It will show that it is not a Coptic artefact featuring a Sasanian king, as assumed until now, but an Umayyad artefact which must be contextualised within a specific tradition of imagery related to the expression of the Umayyad concept of Caliphal authority
