介绍（中）	作为十世纪以来最著名的象牙雕刻之一，这块牌匾描绘了基督在开放式棋盘背景下登基的情景。他正在为奥托大帝（公元962年至973年在位）和包括彼得在内的众多圣人赠送的教堂模型祈福，彼得拥有钥匙这一特性。这些象牙被运往奥托位于马格德堡（萨克森州）的圣毛里求斯帝国教堂，该教堂于968年被提升为大主教区。这块牌匾，以及伴随而来的一系列新约和象征性场景，一定是为教堂当年的奉献而制作的。这种合奏可能是一些礼拜仪式装饰的一部分，如圣坛门、讲坛或祭坛正面。象牙可能是在米兰这个重要的帝国和艺术中心雕刻的，其迷人的风格及其简单的图形、几何设置和有力的手势似乎融合了加洛林艺术传统和拜占庭艺术传统的特征。
介绍（英）	One of the most famous ivory carvings to survive from the tenth century, this plaque depicts Christ enthroned against an open worked checkerboard background. He is blessing a model of a church presented to him by Emperor Otto the Great (r. 962–973) and a host of saints including Peter, who holds his attribute, the keys. The ivory was destined for Otto's imperial church dedicated to Saint Mauritius in Magdeburg (Saxony) which was raised to the seat of an archbishopric in 968. This plaque, and an accompanying series of New Testament and symbolic scenes, must have been made for the dedication of the church in that year. This ensemble may have been part of some liturgical furnishing such as a chancel door, a pulpit, or an altar frontal. Probably carved in Milan, an important imperial and artistic center, the engaging style of the ivories with their uncomplicated figures, geometric setting, and emphatic gestures seem to assimilate features of both the Carolingian artistic tradition and that of Byzantium.
