Ivory Panel with a Saint in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2008
Ivory Panel with a Saint
Byzantine; said to be from the Abbey of Mettlach (now in southern Germany)
Carved 500-600, probably in Egypt

Accession # 41.100.156

This unidentified figure holding a book in his left arm while gesturing in speech with his right hand might be an evangelist, an author of one of the Gospels. On the other hand, his short curly beard is a feature frequently associated with Saint Peter.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
