Symbolism

Still working on both the crown and the swaddling.


The crown symbolizes power, immortality, righteousness, triumph, resurrection, honor, and the glory of life after death. The term "crowning glory" seems befitting of the person who finds themselves at the end of a successful life.


Gold symbolizes nobility, value, purity, light, gladness, excellence, achievement, and valor. That may be a big load for such a little guy to carry. It may also be seen as a great set of gifts to start him on his journey.
