Deacessioned in 1936 in exchange of a Langobard book chest, it was purchased by the American collectors Mildred Barnes Bliss and Robert Woods Bliss, founders of Dumbarton Oaks, in 1937. The present article studies the deaccession and acquisition of the <em>Nuremberg Ivory</em> as a single phenomenon, aiming to understand the logics that lead to its exchange, as well as the effect it had on the Blisses' collecting patterns.&nbsp;</p> ER -
