The crown found in a stone box grave in Khinisli village of Shamakhi region is one of the most beautiful examples of polychromic style found in Azerbaijan. An object similar to Khinisli crown belonging to the Hun period was found in Eastern Europe, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other areas. Three pieces of thin gold plaque were fixed on the rectangular parts made of bronze. There is a knob like a three-petal flower at the top of the central plaque. The plaques were enclosed with double-layer thin gold wire and decorated with garnets. There are 54 pieces of garnet on the first one, 66 on the second one and 72 on the third one and two emeralds.
