In the free standing case, you see the Cap of Monomach of the Second Order. This crown is in the traditional style worn by czars in the 17th century. It was made in 1682 for a dual coronation: Ivan V and his younger half-brother, Peter the First. Peter, who was 10 at his coronation, wore this crown. He would later be known as Peter the Great.
