Something like that was done for my friend Lady Isabeau when she got 
her Manche (East Kingdom A&S award) for cooking and music.  IIRC, she 
was called into court without explanation, then a dozen of her 
friends paraded in, singing and waving cooking implements including a 
14" frying-pan lid.  On a cue from TRM, the frying-pan lid was turned 
over to reveal the device of the Order of the Manche painted on its 
underside.  Pity nobody thought of the sausage-wreath crown....
