The Crown of Kochi

The Crown of Kochi Once an semi-dependent kingdom, Kochi's rulers established this crown as the symbol of the city-state's kings. Made of gold and precious stones, this crown has a weird tradition attached to it. The crown was never worn on the head but was rather held on the lap of the king while seated in state upon the throne.
