The Genoels-Elderen ivory panels (Brussels, Musees Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire), have been assigned, on paleographic, iconographic, and stylistic grounds, to either Anglo-Saxon England or early Carolingian Francia. heretofore prevailing arguments are examined a new origin point, pre-Carolingian Bavaria, for the ivories is suggested basis of comparison objects known produced in that milieu.
