Compared with the relatively solemn shape and decoration of the first crown, the second crown appears in the same size as the one, but the design is much more vivid, and the era of production should be earlier.

The foundation is a thick piece of gold, with a wide headband at the bottom, four semicircular arches in the middle, on which are inlaid with a number of small emeralds and pearls, and on the top of the vault is a cross, and on each of the three corners of the cross is a jewel: an oval pink gem at the end, and a blue one on the top.

The three gems are not set on the front of the cross, but "stick outward", somewhat similar to the inlay of the pendant on the head of the Danjiao of the Chinese Peking Opera.

Not only that, but the middle of the cross is inlaid with a small blue gemstone pattern, which completely loses the usual solemn taste of religion.

The most interesting thing is that the arch behind the cross is also very abruptly crowned with a bright yellow gem, the shape is basically an ellipsoid, about the size of a smaller egg, and the appearance is quite similar!

Zhang Nan looked at it with a magnifying glass for a while, and said, "This is a yellow diamond!"

It's a bit unbelievable, this huge yellow diamond has a very good quietness, and the carving process is conservative, which is basically a smooth grinding.

In this way, it feels like it was added in the later stage: I have a good baby, where to put it?

Crown.

What, there is no place in the crown?

It's okay, there's always a squeeze.

A cross is on top, and that's not all, there is a wide cross on each of the four sides of the crown. On average, the front of each of the four crosses and the attached pedestal headband are set with seven gemstones, divided into three colors: red, blue and fuchsia, and each cross is topped by a large round pearl.

The size of these 28 gems is very large, and the size of a blood ruby set in the middle of the cross on the front will not be smaller than the "Black Prince" of the Queen of England! As for whether this is a ruby or a top-grade red spinel, it is difficult to say, Zhang Nan can't see it, and the identification of these two gems is difficult for even some professional jewelry appraisers to judge at once.

Don't worry about it, whatever it is, it's a rare treasure.

Almost all the gems in the entire crown are not cut into straight shapes, they are similar to the shape of the "Black Prince Ruby" in the Queen's Crown, only the surface is rounded, and Zhang Nan also judged from this point that the production age of this crown is much earlier than the one found earlier.

It is estimated that in modern times, when the gemstone cutting technology is basically mature, these gems have long settled in this crown, and there is no need to take them off and reprocess.

It's just such a crown, bright and glamorous enough, but it feels weird: say it's an "upstart"?

It's a little bit of a taste, but it's not quite.

Zhang Nan thought for a while, but he couldn't find a suitable adjective, which felt a little awkward in his heart, and said casually: "Brother-in-law, I always feel weird about this ......."

said his awkward taste, and Xiang Weirong got to the point with one word: "It's not in tune!"

Yes, it just doesn't matter!

This is a crown representing royal power, with a huge pile of precious gems of all colors on its head, but it gives people an unobtrusive and unstable taste, anyway, in the eyes of Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong, the two Chinese people, this is the taste: not in tune!

After seeing enough of this "flowery" crown, and seeing that Mark was going to put the first crown he had brought back into the box and pack it, Zhang Nan asked him to stop and talk.

frowned, and said, "I always feel that these two crowns are more familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere." ”

Guan Xingquan, who was on the side, heard this and interjected: "I seem to have seen those royal jewelry books in your study."

Pointing to the first top, "Very, like the German Emperor's top." ”

A bunch of Western crowns and tiaras were found in the mines of Berchtesgaden, and the two experts who worked for Zhang Nan found a lot of information for comparative research, and really determined the provenance of some of the crowns and the famous jewels of the royal family.

Many of those used materials later entered Zhang Nan's study, and when he was free, he flipped through them as a pastime and recharge, and Guan Boss also took them to see them.

Speaking of this, the impression in my mind is clear!

"Isn't this the Hornzollern crown of Wilhelm II, this should be in the Hohenzollern castle, we've seen it, no wonder it's familiar!"

There is a big problem!

It's not just information, but I've seen a crown that is similar to this one, or even exactly the same!

Oh, it's the crown, the crown of the Second German Emperor.

When I first visited, I saw that the crown on display in the castle was made for the coronation of Wilhelm II in 1888, and after the abdication of Wilhelm II after World War I, the crown was retained as his family property.

It is said that the crown was hidden in the wall of a church during World War II and was later found and returned to the Hohenzollern family.

So why is there another one here?

The more I look at it, the more it looks like it, exactly the same as in my impression!

When this doubt came to me, I thought that I should solve it as soon as possible, "Paul, send someone out, no matter where you go, it doesn't matter if you go to Dresden or Berlin, find me a picture album or photo with the crown of Wilhelm II." ”

Paul turned around and left, and went outside to arrange: small problem, such album photos can be bought in some large bookstores, and can be found 100% in big cities.

This is Germany.

After arranging, the crown was put away, "Maybe the one in Hohenzollern Castle is a replica?"

Thinking in my head, guessing casually, I feel that it is a little possible.

At least the one that just discovered can't be some kind of imitation: a crown with such a large number of super-large high-grade diamonds and gemstones?

I'm full!

The Nazis hid treasures, not only those looted, but also antiques, precious metals, and works of art that originally belonged to Germany!

The Allies were not vegetarians, and if you think about the style of the Americans in the American-occupied zone, you can understand that it is not unnecessary for the Germans to hide things.

And this is the Soviet-occupied zone, and the Soviets, who suffered the most from Nazi Germany and suffered the most casualties, were even more ruthless, and even moved back the German industrial machinery, and would they be polite to the Germans?

Don't talk about baby, everything that is pleasing to the eye will be removed for you!

Don't say that Mao Zi is ruthless, think about how many of them died more than 20 million, and almost the entire European part was broken and lost, this kind of revenge is actually not ruthless at all, it is just human nature: almost every household in the country has relatives and friends who have been killed and injured in the war, and anyone will be red-eyed!

Oh, except for Our Lady Biao.

It's a pity that the Germans are unlucky, Maozi is a fighting nation, and there is no problem with the brain at all, so hurry up and hide something.
