A Magyar Szent Korona (The Hungarian Holy Crown)
The sacral notability of the Hungarian Holy Crown is avowed by no lesser authority but the Vatican. The Hungarian Holy Crown is the only sacral crown which is allowed to be illustrated together with the Holy Mother.

I�ve recently found two pictures at THIS link. The first picture painted by the English Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood member Edward Burne-Jones. The painting: The Last Sleep of Arthur in Avalon shows the death of the fictitious king Arthur. Arthur was the ideal leader and some people claim that the story of Arthur, Sir Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table is not a tale from the past but from the future. Anyway on the picture the famous English painter painted the Hungarian Holy Crown. I guess he knew something very well. The same thing as the German painter Wilhelm von Kaulbach knew. He also painted the Hungarian Holy Crown on a painting which shows the crowning ceremony of Karolus Magnus (Charlesmagne).

Not just the word Crown-Korona has Hungarian related origin but the first king as well. It is very likely that the crowning ceremony come from the Scythian tradition, from Central Asia. Maybe the aforementioned painters knew this very well.
