Context:
Crowns, or diadem, like this are worn by Buddhist priests and monks during certain religious ceremonies, especially initiation rites. Each panel is decorated with one of the five dhyani bodhisattvas including from left to right: Ratnasambhava, Akshobhya, Samantabhadra, the bodhisattva Amityeus and Vishvapani.Above each figure is a roundel bearing a sacred emblem such as three jewels, crossed vajras, the wheel of the law, the lotus and a sword. It is believed that when wearing such a crown, a priest is connected with the divine essence and becomes himself a receptacle for cosmic forces.
