Death of the Virgin, so-called “Koimesis”
Byzantine ivory carving reached its zenith around the middle of the 10th century. The intercession inscribed on the panel depicting two apostles documents its connection to a Byzantine Emperor named Constantine. Soft soapstone (steatite) was also used from this period for small icons and pendants. The “Koimesis” relief is among the oldest extant works executed in this technique.
