Anotations

Scope note:

Crowns having a circlet surmounted by one or more arched bands that connect opposite points on the circlet. The hooped crown seems to have first developed in Carolingian states in the 8th century, perhaps derived from a hooped helmet. Hooped crowns may have two or more arches that intersect, or the hoops may comprise half-arches, often with an orb surmounting the intersection. Hooped crowns are generally royal or imperial crowns.
