Abstract
As part of an assessment of the Medieval collections at the British Museum in preparation for the new Medieval Europe gallery, attention was focused on the differences and similarities between the renowned ‘Alpais’ Limoges ciborium, dated to c. 1200, in the Musée du Louvre, an example in the British Museum, another in the National Museums of Scotland, and two electrotype copies of the ‘Alpais’ ciborium in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Taking as its central focus the ciborium in the British Museum, this volume uses a cross-disciplinary approach, based on the differing specializations of the authors (curators, scientists and conservators) to examine the group of ciboria. New and previously unpublished information, analyses and conclusions are presented that serve to locate all the ciboria in their respective artistic and cultural context.
