[Ansteorra] Real Royal Crowns

[Haraldr Bassi]

Hmmm... many of them seem to be in the category "votive crowns" which implies they were not worn 
on a head. The suspended crosses through their center seem to confirm that theory.

Is there missing glass parts of those items do you think? Or were they not a lamp type of votive?

The examples of stuff worn on heads is interesting as well.

Thanks,
Haraldr
