There are two crowns in Yorubaland; all the seven children of Oduduwa have the crowns including Alake.
First is Ade isembaye (The ancient official crown), the second korimagbofo (Ordinary crown). Ade Isembaye is being used to crown and installed the king while a King can use Ade Korimagbofo to attend any occasion and ceremony.
This is one of the Ade isembaye in Owu Kingdom, Abeokuta
It is being called Ade (crown) because the king must not see inside of the crown. It is taboo for a king to see the hole inside the crown.
