Also know as the 'Reichskrone' and 'The Crown of Charlemagne', this ancient crown is believed to have been made at the Monastery of Reichenau for the Coronation of Emperor Otto I in 962. Made of eight joined plates, four depict enamelled figures of Our Lord enthroned in Majesty, King Solomon, Kings David and Hezekiah and the Prophet Isaiah. The remaining four plates are heavily set with large precious stones, the colour and arrangement of which abounds with symbolic meanings. The crowns are kept at the Schatzkammer Museum, Vienna.
