Studies in East Christian and Roman art is a 1918 New York scholarly survey by Walter Dennison and Charles Rufus Morey, aimed at art historians and collectors of early Christian and Byzantine material. Its plates show ancient jewellery and medallions drawn in fine line: round pendants with filigree borders, a bead necklace, and a crescent-shaped ornament with rosettes, each rendered in dense, precise hatching against cream paper.
