Crowns
Notes: Game on...on the radio...Blue Jays and Angels...bottom of first...no scoring yet...Angels up...by happenstance, while watching a clip about the Temples in Jerusalem, an image of the Moslem Dome of the Rock flashed by, and, I thought, wait!...brb...well...I cant find a close up pic..but around the dome is a decoration, a chacana like decoration, much like the motifs at Saint Catheryn's Monastery...Vlad Jr. strikes out for the Jays...Angels made out...

Pujols up...well, hooey, I'm wanting to relate the stepping stones to finding a really cool side by side...but I'm thinking just doing the side by side, if one has in mind what has gone before in the previous posts, one can see how cool this 'match cut' is!...the Dome was built while Islam, at its start, was at war with the Sasanians...an empire called Neo-Persian as it covered the same area as the old Persian Empire...I had never heard of it...it's in that gap between Alexander the Great and the advent of the Islamic Empire...basically, it was Iran...brb

Pre-Columbian, North Coast Peru, Moche, Phase I, ca. 100 to 200 CE. A figural stirrup vessel in the form of a male warrior. The warrior is kneeling and wears a simple tunic with a rectangular central panel, a cream-hued loin cloth, and enormous ear spools. He holds a circular shield with an incised curvilinear decoration in his left hand, and rests the conical head of a large club on his right knee. Large almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, thin lips, and smooth cheeks comprise the minimalist visage, and a tumi-adorned headdress with a pair of stepped projections caps his head. The highly-burnished figure is covered in vibrant red and cream-hued details, and a parabolic handle and cylindrical spout protrude from the verso. Size: 4.125" W x 7.125" H (10.5 cm x 18.1 cm).

the Sasanian Kings minted coins, so each one's crown is recorded...many variations, but most have the step motif....for sometime the why of that...a few have the crescent moon...

Taq-e Bostan, from the Sassanid Empire of Persia (pre-Islamic era). Note the crescent above the arch.

I don't know if the Andeans' fan on the headdresses represents the Moon as crescent...back away was noted the crescents on the model Moche houses...and too they have the fan motif...oh, I could do a monograph side by side!...and there are a lot of Andean headdresses with the two step motifs tilted on either side, just like on the house models...and in between them the fan motif...or crescent...game a pitchers' duel...lots of Ks by both sides...Trout up...first base open...a walk in the offing...a whimsical wonder I had before because of the step motifs/crowsteps at Petra/Saleh was how in the world Persians could have gotten to Peru?...the motif did...I mean, how could it happen in both places the motif became an emblem on crowns!...all I can think of is battlements, (GOT has short crowsteps on Winterfell)......and forts in the Arabian desert have crowstep battlements, as does Persepolis, and the Ishtar Gate...this look may happen building walls and battlements with mud bricks...so, mud bricks used by the Andeans too...and a fort becomes a crown...European crowns sometimes have the look of European castles...the simple square crenellation....oh, Angels threatened, but made out...must be like fourth inning...

The Pahlavi Crown is part of the Iranian Crown Jewels which was crafted for the coronation of Reza Shah on 25th April 1926. The design of the crown was made in the fashion of the Sassanid Dynasty that ruled in Iran between the 3rd and 7th centuries AD.
