Book excerpt: Architectural sculpture and liturgical furniture are key genres of late antique and Byzantine archaeology and art, and this book provides the first general overview.

It can thus serve as dictionary, if a term requires explanation and illustration, or as a visual gazetteer for the research of artefacts. In addition the volume can also serve as an academic textbook.
