I analyze in detail Virgin Mary's coronation insignia of Baroque period from the point of view of arts and crafts. Since the original insignia either does not exist any more or were remodeled, I concentrate on original printings of that period - published on the occasion of coronation festivities. As a result, I identify the original form of coronation insignia - crowns and thrones / altars which did not outlast the centuries. The main contribution is that I have discovered an undisclosed copperplate "Coronation of Virgin Mary of Svata Hora" by A. Birckhart, 1732. I provide a detailed iconographic analysis of this unique masterpiece from the...
