A rare, small sized crown, it would have once graced a noble Santos statue of Mary. It originates from the France and dates towards 1880. This is a cast crown which would have resulted from brass (liquid copper and zinc) being poured into a hand cut mold. This genre of crown is known as a diadem, which would have been destined for a Madonna statue. The design detail is elegant, a large flower is at the center with raised half globes atop the petals, four tiny thistle buds reach upward and horizontal, arabesques and draping acanthus leaves connect all designs into a uniform story. There are four half globes along the top edge. The bottom band has an intricate lace work cut of alternating rosettes. There is a wire of hand strung grey pearl glass beads (two beads in half)
