Chryselephantine Statuary in the Ancient Mediterranean World, (Oxford Monographs on Classical Archaeology), 2002, 242 p., 249 fig., ill. - -

Although they do not survive intact, composite statues of gold and ivory were the most acclaimed art form in classical antiquity. This study, the first to address the topic as a whole since 1815, presents not only literary references to lost works, but also representations of them in other media, and more importantly, fragmentary survivals that elucidate the techniques employed in their production and the quality achieved by their creators.
