An outstanding example of Nasrid painted ivory: the casket of Martin the Humane, King of Aragon
Abstract
The ivory casket that belonged to Martin I the Humane, King of Aragon, is a masterpiece of late medieval Hispanic ivory-working. However, its cataloging has been an issue widely debated by scholars. In this paper, we propose the probable Nasrid origin of both the box and its paintings among the context of cultural permeability and artistic exchanges with the Christian kingdoms which took place in al-Andalus during the sultanate.Downloads
