A Group of Ivories and Some Related Works from Late Carolingian Trier
Warren Sanderson
Since the publication of Adolph Goldschmidt's monumental work on early medieval ivories in this century, we have known that geographic center ivory carving from ninth century into eleventh was Lotharingia.1 For Carolingian continued to use stylistic determinations an Ada group, a Liuthard two successive Metz groups, and smaller miscellaneous groupings. Aside groups there been few efforts assign precise locales.2 One groupings associated by Goldschmidt with Tournai some works related may now be localized, I believe, at Trier, Lotharingian city not far Metz.
