Caption
Ivory Pyx (Box), 500s. Elaborately carved from a section of an elephant?s tusk, this ivory pyx (Greek for "box") depicts a number of New Testament scenes, namely the Annunciation, Christ?s entry into Jerusalem, Christ raising Lazarus, and Christ healing the blind man. It also depicts a Christian altar with chalices, possibly indicating the box?s use in a liturgical context.
