Crowns of the High Septon

The High Septon in his crown by Amok ©

Description and History: The crown of the High Septon of Faith of the Seven is an immense crown of spun gold and crystal that wreathed the head with rainbows when the wearer moves.[41][19][27] There have been two crowns in the course of A Song of Ice and Fire. The first goes missing (and its wearer killed) during the riot of King's Landing.[19] The second is a gift to the Faith and new High Septon from Lord Tywin Lannister, the Hand of the King, and is much taller and more elaborate than the previous crown.[27] This second crown is sold by the Faith, ostensibly to feed the hungry, when the newest High Septon (known as the High Sparrow) assumed the position. This second crown is estimated (by Cersei) to add one and a half feet to the wearers height.[21]
