Title: Philippine religious carvings in ivory
Description: Focuses on ivory as a prized medium in Spanish Manila for carving religious images. The 16th century prototypes like the celebrated Our Lady of the Rosary with the Child Jesus (1593) helped determine the iconographic conventions of late Philippine religious sculpture. The monograph features 17th to 19th century ivory carvings from various museums and private collections.
