Hungarian crown jewels

Hungarian crown jewels, originally uploaded by joellekueng.

You can see these in the hungarian parliament. They're for sure 1000 years old, there's a bit of a controversy to know if they're the original ones used by the first king. Also not sure is whether the fact that the cross isn't straight is intentional or not. Another important bit: the supreme authority of the country's ruler is attached to the crown, and not to the king. So, no crown, no king. Better not lose it :)
