O soše
Walrus ivory supplies the main carved decoration of Portable Altar, made about 1200–1220 and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Standing apostles occupy the longer sides. At the ends, Mary sits with the Magi, while Christ appears as judge among signs of the Evangelists. Trade linking the Rhineland with Scandinavia brought this material readily to Cologne. That city was a major center for medieval German art, supported by access to ivory from northern waters. On view in gallery 106C.
Slovy muzea
The principal decoration of this portable altar is carved of walrus ivory. On the long sides are traditional figures of standing apostles. On the short sides are the seated Virgin with the Magi, and Christ the Judge between the symbols of the Evangelists. The commercial ties between the Rhineland and the Norse peninsula made walrus ivory easily available to the city of Cologne, one of the most important artistic centers in medieval Germany.
