A crown composed of five metal plates, held together at the bottom with a colored ribbon. The gold-colored tendril-embossed metal plates are decorated with floral patterns. In the middle, the gold symbol of the Kálacakra tradition with lance writing stands out from the black painted base. The front is varnished, while the back is covered in brick red paint.
