Koen,
Sorry, I did not mean to imply that that crown, or any crown, was a papal crown. I was was referring to the general identification of a particular figure, based on a summation of evidence. Your 'Cleopatra' identification, based of the headgear, with the 'floral' top and the band across the forehead is quite similar, as far as it goes, but is there another independent factor that helps to confirm the identification? Whereas, with the Fieschi identification, there are half a dozen separate, independent, visual and positional elements that contribute to the identification.
