Today's Moment of Lust

The Mantle of Roger II

It's a 12th century coronation mantle for a Sicilian King. Oh, the details!

You want another eye popper? Check out the crown of Stephan Bocskay, Transylvanian king from 1606ad. and here
An awesome thing indeed. Gift of the Ottoman crown to him for his assistance. The crown is of Persian make and is the final evolution of the Taj-kulah crown hats.
The box for it is also cool
