I assume what you mean by CROWN is the actual metal coronet. Most of 
our Royality are a bit big to sling over an arm. :-)

I do agree here. From pictures that I have seen of Euopean coronets,
probably out of period, they seem to be displayed on velvet cushions
and such. Do we have such items for the Ansteorran coronets? Perhaps
then the Chivalry can stand in a circle around the cushion with the
coronet or one can hold the cushion upon which the coronet lies.

Researching and making these cushions might be an interesting project
for an embroidery/sewing type person.
