The 1,400-year-old crown of Empress Xiao

China
The crown of Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty has been revealed after years of restoration work.
The Sui dynasty lasted for just 37 years from 581 to 618 AD. There were only two emperors, and Empress Xiao was the wife of the second and last emperor, Yang Guang.
The crown was discovered in 2012 and is the oldest crown of an empress ever found in China.
I find it doubtful the restored version is actually the original, and is most likely a remade copy.
