imperial crown

Monarch's ceremonial headwear

An imperial crown is the ceremonial headpiece worn by an emperor or empress, typically more elaborate than a royal crown, often featuring a distinctive arch or arches crossing over the top.

The term also refers to a tall ornamental plant (Fritillaria imperialis) with a crown-like cluster of flowers atop a bare stem: The imperial crowns bloomed early this spring.
