Despite the series of social climate military and pandemic crises that marked 13th and 14th century Europe ivory carvings experienced a boom in this period. This apparent contradiction raises questions about the value and significance of these luxury goods in elite society. Analysis of the secular iconographies wrought in ivory on household items offers insight into the lives tastes and literary knowledge of courtly owners as well as into related social structures. Variously engaging with the concept of crisis the volume's contributors resituate the reception of such objects within the contexts of politics warfare and the machinations of the court. This recontextualization yields compelling new perspectives on Gothic ivories in some cases challenging long-standing assumptions.
