The Tiara of Pope Benedict XVI is a Papal tiara presented to Pope Benedict XVI during a General Audience on May 25, 2011 by a group of German Catholics.[1]
The tiara was produced in Bulgaria, by a company that makes Eastern Orthodox liturgical vestments.[1] The tiara is made from mixture of zinc, silver and brass.[1] It is adorned with semi-precious stones.[1]
Pope Benedict XVI never wore this tiara.
