Thanks!

Yes, I didn't spend too much time on the marble for the altar, so that will be
the next rabbit hole I go down.

I probably need some sort of additional lighting to make the crown more visible,
and some updates to the shape to make it more obvious.  It would probably help
to have something like a sword in a scabbard, or a scepter, in the same area.
