Had you ever watched the Chinese costume drama? In those dramas, emperors tend to wear wire crowns.


A gold crown was the usual headwear of emperors. This gold wire crown was discovered at Dingling Tomb.


It is composed of three parts: the frontal cavity, the rear crest, and the golden “ears”. This entirely gold crown is refined and peerless

artistic treasure.


Chinese wire crown is different from that of the western imperial family, but they all stand for their status.
