The Essen Crown was probably made between 1050 and 1100 in the Rhineland and is considered the oldest surviving lily crown in Europe. It is made of gilded silver and richly decorated with pearls, gemstones, and enamel work. It was likely created for the coronation of the Golden Madonna of Essen in connection with the Essen Cathedral Treasury, although this assumption is not definitively proven. Today, the crown is part of the Essen Cathedral Treasury.
