The Crown of the Andes
The Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception, Cathedral of Popayán (Colombia) were granted permission to sell the crown
by Pius X in 1914. Hopefully that initial sale helped the poor. After going through several collectors it escaped the melting pot when purchased by the Museum in 2015.
