A [[crown]] consisting of multiple metallic arches converging where the orb of the crown, or [i]monde[/i], would be at the very top. The arches may or may not be [[jeweled crown|lined with gems]]. The crown's [i]cross[/i], located atop the monde, would either be an actual cross to represent the Christian influence of monarchies, or can possess a different shape. The crown's [i]cap[/i] is lined with velvet that has a ermine base, although there are arched crowns with no cap present. Red velvet is typical of real-like royal crowns, and are frequently the basic depiction for arched crowns in artwork.
