Crown of the Andes
The Crown of the Andes — known in Spanish as ''La Corona de los Andes'' and as ''La Corona de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Popayán'' — is a votive crown originally made for a larger than life-size statue of the Virgin in the Cathedral of Popayán, Colombia. Originating — at least partly — in the 16th century, it purportedly includes emeralds taken from the captured Inca Emperor Atahualpa (1497–1533). In 1936 it was sold by its owners to an American businessman and it has remained in the United States ever since.
==Description==
The crown is 34.5 centimeters high, 52 centimeters in circumference, weighs 2.18 kilograms in all and is made from 18 - 22 carat gold. There are 450 emeralds on it: the largest, known as the “Atahualpa Emerald”, is a rectangular stone measuring 15.8 by 16.15 mms.〔El País, 19 September 1995:"La corona, de 34,5 centímetros de alto y 52 de circunferencia, tiene un peso total de 2,18 kilos y una calidad de oro de I8-22 quilates. Todas las joyas, en un total de 450 esmeraldas, se distribuyen entre la banda y la diadema.
