Spätantike und Byzanz. Bestandskatalog Badisches Landesmuseum Karlsruhe: Objekte aus Bein, Elfenbein, Glas, Keramik, Metall und Stein
Byzanz zwischen Orient und Okzident, Volume 8.1
The collection of the Badisches Landesmuseum Karlsruhe contains an extensive inventory of Late Antique and Byzantine objects, previously only partially accessible in publications. The artefacts and artworks are mainly small-scale objects, some of great scholarly value. They belong to both the sacral and secular spheres and convey a wide spectrum of everyday life as well as artistic and cultural production in the late Roman and Byzantine Empire. In the collection catalogue, the 268 objects made of bone, ivory, glass, ceramics, metal and stone, some bearing inscriptions, are thoroughly documented, interpreted and categorized in terms of their cultural history.
