The Consular Crown was the central piece of the Crown Jewels of Westarctica owned by Grand Duke Travis. The crown was created for Travis McHenry's coronation as Consul-General of the Achaean Territory of Antarctica, the predecessor-state to Westarctica. The crown was handcrafted by Turkish jeweler Ferhat Özyalçın at his shop in Marmaris, Turkey. He designed the crown from Travis' description after trying several drafts of pen and ink drawings. The design is meant to evoke the laurel wreath of the Roman Imperial Crown in the style worn by the Roman Emperors. A semi-circlet shape was selected rather than a full circlet to ensure proper fit as well as to emulate the crown of Julius Caesar. Photographer: Grand Duke Travis |
