the crown

Sovereign's jeweled circlet

The crown is the top of the head, where hair spirals from a central point.

It also refers to the highest part of a hat, hill, or tooth.

In dentistry, a crown is an artificial cap placed over a damaged tooth: I need to get a crown on that molar. (Capitalized as The Crown, it refers to royal authority or the Netflix series.)
