The imperial crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a masterpiece of goldsmith’s art from the 11th century, when it was first used at the coronation of Conrad II. The crown is made of eight arched pieces of gold (two large and six small) that are decorated with pearls, precious stones, and enamel. Conrad was crowned by the pope in 1027. The crown is in the Art History Museum in Vienna, Austria.
