Those made with ivory faces and hands, invariably wore elaborately embossed and chased silver crowns.  Very rich families and wealthy parishes sometimes had these crowns fashioned from solid gold.  These three crowns are examples of the latter.\nThe smallest of the crowns dates from 1760-1830, when the Rococo Style of decoration was fashionable in the colony.  The style began in France as a reaction against the heavy, often religious plodding of Baroque art that emphasized symmetry.  Rococo designers, influenced by the shell grottoes fashionable during the late baroque period, turned to elaborate organic patterns that were light and often asymmetrical.  Elaborate carved forms featuring shells, C-scrolls and a stylized version of the acanthus leaf were recurring patterns.  Reticulated patterns also became  a characteristic detail of the period. This particular piece is a royal crown with four arched bars, called diadems, attached to large oval cartouches that rest on reticulated reserves.  A smaller cartouche, placed between the large ones, is surmounted by a larger similarly pierced reserve.  The bars are embossed and chased with alternating cartouches and reticulated reserves and are joined together at the top with a boss bordered by a spiked edge and surmounted by a cross in the middle.\nThe medium-sized crown is of the 19th century and is in the form of an imperial crown with six arched bars.  The body of the crown is beautifully embossed and chased with a design of flowers and leaves usually found in golden peinetas or combs done by a master goldsmith.  Each flower  is set with a white sapphire in a silver sipitalimango or claw setting.  The tapering diadem of the crown is chased with a pair of leafy vines  bordered by leaves on either side.  An orb surmounted by a cross caps the junction of the six arched bars.\nThe largest crown, also in the form of an imperial crown with six diadems, also is of the 19th century.  Its base is embossed with very fine beading, while the body of the crown is embossed and chased with a repetitive design of a large flower within a pair of symmetrical C-scrolls surmounted by a foliate crest. A smaller flower in between forms the base of the arched bar which is embossed and chased with a flower in between leafy stems.  An orb surmounted by a cross tops the piece.  All the undecorated surfaces of the crown are matted and very fine stippled.\n-Martin I.
