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.
