Fascinating Boxwood at the Art Gallery of Ontario

If you’ve read Mark Braimbridge’s pieces on the Waddesdon Bequest or Dr Dora Thornton’s piece about the British Museum exhibition of boxwood carvings, you should take a look at the Art Gallery of Ontario – Boxwood Project.

The projects website gives an insight into the methods of production and cultural significance of the awe-inspiring works of art and highlights more than four years of research that used cutting-edge technology to understand the construction of the elegantly precise miniature rosaries, prayer beads and altarpieces.
