Crown Clipart

Crown - a symbol of excellence, supreme dignity, power. Unlike a wreath woven from plants and acting as an image of temporal elevation (victory in a sporting match, battle), correlated with the short life of plant life, the crown expresses superiority beyond time constraints. The wreath is an image of the passing glory, the crown is the image of eternal glory. The crown is also associated with the symbolism of light as the personification of spiritual power, charisma, so it is usually made of gold and precious stones. In iconography and painting, a metal crown or diadem, like a nimbus, is a symbol of spiritual enlightenment.

Additional values are due to the shape of the crown or the material from which it is made. In the Sumerian culture, the horned tiara served as an attribute of the divine being; Thus, greatness was associated with power and transcendence (as the bull symbolized thunder). In Europe, the crown owes its origin to ancient wreaths (the round form of which it inherited), whereas in the ancient states of the Near East and the Middle East, the head ornaments and bandages of the priests.
