I’ll guess that the hoard is what was a work shop , some of those items look like tools for metal working .
I dunno about wearing that as a crown without a chin strap. One false move and that thing would land on the royal toe.
As some speculate, it may be more symbolic /ritualistic.
Symbolic of being the king, sure. When he wore it on his head.
