• Notes

  "Works made of rock crystal from antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages are presented here for the first time in a comprehensive manner. The spectrum ranges from vessels for the sacred and the profane to crosses, chess sets, amulets, cooling balls, official signs and magnifying glasses. The facets of the material rock crystal, its processing, use and symbolic interpretation are not only examined from an art historical perspective, but rather with the inclusion of mineralogy, archaeology, geology, philology and optics." -- From exhibition website.
