The Lothar, or Susanna Crystal, c855-c869. The rock crystal is engraved with scenes of the story of Susanna as recorded in the Apocrypha. Each scene is accompanied by an inscription drawn from the Vulgate. In the first four scenes Susanna is shown accosted by the elders, falsely accused and convicted of adultery. The last scenes show the elders being questioned by Daniel, condemned for false witness and executed. The final scene shows Susanna declared innocent. The figures are executed in the energetic figural style known as the Rheims style which derived from manuscript drawings such as the Utrecht Psalter. According to an inscription engraved on the crystal it was engraved for Lothar, 'King of the Franks', most probably Lothar II of Lotharingia (AD 855-69).The crystal is framed in a fifteenth-century gilded copper frame.
