The Wernher Triptych is an ivory Byzantine triptych carved in Constantinople between 900–1000 AD.

History

The triptych became part of the British Museum's collection in 1978, in lieu of taxes following the death of Sir Harold Wernher, son of the financier Sir Julius Wernher.[1]

Description

In the central panel stands the Virgin Hodegetria; on the side leaves are carved an angel and two saints framed in medallions; on the left St Nicholas and St Theodore, on the right St John Chrysostom and St George.
