A comprehensive catalogue of the decorative metalwork and ivory carvings found at Scottish sites, dating from 1100 to 1500. It includes artefacts imported at an early date from France, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as Scottish pieces heavily influenced by European art. This essential sourcebook describes how the collection was formed over two centuries, the distribution of find sites and individual catalogue entries for every piece.
"It has been suggested that Scotia in the Medieval period was an impoverished backward land, teetering on the very edge of the “civilised” world. If ever a publication gave the lie to this, Virginia Glenn’s marvellous book does just that."
