Diptych with the Muses. Ivory, H: 29 cm SMD 46

Adoration of the Magi, Early Byzantine, early 6th century. An ivory relief panel of the Adoration of Christ. The Virgin Mary, shown with wide staring eyes and larger in scale than the other figures, holds the Christ child in her lap as he makes the gesture of blessing. Beside the Virgin are an angel holding a cross-staff and the three Magi dressed in Oriental costume - tight trousers, short tunics and Phrygian caps. They present their gifts as sacred offerings with veiled hands. A narrow panel at the bottom depicts the Nativity; the Virgin reclines on a mattress; on the right the child bound in swaddling clothes appears in a masonry manger with the ox, ass and star of Bethlehem. The woman kneeling represents the midwife Salome, a character from the apocryphal (unofficial) gospels. The formal style and symmetry of the Adoration scene on this ivory may derive from the lost mosaics of the Church M&ME, 1904,7-2,1
