This is a beautiful piece of workmanship fit for a Queen. (#16441) It has a slightly smaller diameter than its counterpart (#16008), but it is still a very generous size at 5 inches. It's a little bit big for me, so I used it for my card box. I didn't return it, because there's nothing else like it on the market, and I fell in love with it even before I got it home. Although it seems to be equally tall all the way around, there is a definite front and back as 2 of the points are slightly shorter than the other three. This crown stands out, so is not for the shy individual. Strut your stuff like the Queen you are! If you are on the fence about it, take the plunge - you won't regret it.
