O soše
The ivory Apostles Pyx, dated about 980–1010, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, and is attributed on stylistic grounds to Constantinople's Triptych Group workshop. Christ as ruler of the world, the Virgin and the apostles form an uninterrupted band around it, seated on cushioned chairs with tall backs. The body's narrowing rim once fitted into a lid, now lost. No other pyx from the Middle Byzantine period, about 843–1204, is known to survive. The box is displayed in room 105.
Slovy muzea
This pyx shows Christ as Pantokrator (Ruler of the World), the Apostles, and the Virgin as a continuous frieze of figures seated in high-backed chairs with cushions. The tapered lip of the body of the pyx was intended to dovetail into the missing lid. Because of its style, the box is thought to be from a workshop of ivory carvers called "The Triptych Group" active in Constantinople between about 950 and 1010. This is the only known pyx to survive from the Middle Byzantine period (about ad 843-1204).
