​Monarch Crown Sterling Christmas Ornament #3220 Hand & Hammer 2002.  This sterling collectible is inspired by the crowns of English Monarchs.  In the Christian tradition of European cultures, where ecclesiastical sanction authenticates monarchic power, when a new monarch assumes the throne in a coronation ceremony, the crown is placed on the new monarch's head by a religious official. Some, though not all early Holy Roman Emperors traveled to Rome at some point in their careers to be crowned by the pope. Napoleon, according to legend, surprised Pius VII when he reached out and crowned himself

The size of this ornament is about 1-3/4" high  X  2" wide. This Sterling Silver Ornament is an estate piece and in excellent condition.

We look forward to having you as one of our happy buyers.
