[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2469327, member: 2844"]I think she is, but I'm not sure. In Roman Catholic parts of Europe rich people donate silver and gold crowns to miraculous Madonna statues out of gratitude. This is a Dutch Madonna, 'Sterre der zee' or Star of the Sea. She owns several crowns, and several matching sets of 'clothing' for both of them ;): [IMG]http://www.sterre-der-zee.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/sterremetkindje.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.sterre-der-zee.nl/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Wenen-beeld-Sterre-der-Zee-207x300.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sterre-der-zee.nl%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F06%2FMaastricht_Basiliek_van_Onze-Lieve-Vrouw_Sterre_der_Zee_foto_Arjan_Bronk_MWGypS2.jpg.1920x1080_q85_crop_focal_area-411277456337.jpg&sp=1595694064T814b6b446a23dfd709ca806fd58170da3486e5174e63cef12549f15b3b27ae1d[/IMG][/QUOTE]
