About this work
Imperial face of the Cross of Lothair, an Ottonian crux gemmata from the Rhine-Meuse region, c. 1000, in the Aachen Cathedral Treasury. At the crossing, an antique cameo with the portrait of the laurel-crowned Emperor Augustus; on the lower arm, the engraved rock crystal seal inscribed with the name of King Lothair II of Lotharingia (855–869).
