Detail of medieval stained glass depicting Daniel, Job and Noah being crowned by angels. Right panel in the seventh/bottom register of the Second Typological Window in the north choir aisle (n. XV, 9), dated to about 1180.

The inscription read: "God sowed the words of the father: from these his fruit increased on the good ground threefold; his own crown was given to each." This explains the angels crowning the Old Testament heroes, and connects the scene with the Sower on Thorny Ground and Good Ground.

This panel was originally part of Typological Window 6.
