- Ivory Panel: Otto II, c.983
- Location
- National Museum of the Middle Ages, Paris, France
- Caption
- Ivory relief of Christ crowning Emperor Otto II (973-83) and his wife Theophanu. Otto married Theophanu, niece of the Eastern Roman Emperor John I Tzimisces, on April 14, 972, and became sole emperor in 973. The subject and composition strongly indicate the work of a Byzantine artist working in the West, and illustrate the close ties between the two cultures in the early Middle Ages.
