On the right as you enter is  a beautifully crafted crown displayed on a white plinth. Made of chrome-plated iron, the links to the Crown of Thorns worn by Christ are obvious (Christian)  but also to the laurel wreaths, called corona radiata  worn by the Roman Emporers (Pagan). A truly exquisite piece of work with intricate detailing and rather at odds with the severity of its surroundings. Again, the effect is astounding.
