Gilgeam is usually depicted as a warrior king, with an armored tunic embroidered with patterns of royalty and divinity, the helm-crown of kings, his sword Anzû sheathed and in his hands, the two thunderbolts he stole with from the gods. On his left hand he wears a gold bracelet upon which is mounted the desiccated eye of the beast of many limbs. On the rare depictions that have been found of Gilgeam seated upon a throne, he is clothed in the very same manner but carries no weapons, instead he holds a scepter of office to represent his kingship on his right hand and a plume of fire on the left.

The golden Crown of the Highest is a crown that was used by all of the kings of [[Nasrad]] going back as far as the mythical sons of Gilgeam who lived and learned at his feet. The crown was supposedly crafted for Gilgeam by his children immediately upon proclaiming him king after the killing of Enunu. While it may be just a creative story, similar crowns are observed in carvings and imagery of the kings of Nasrad dating at least as far back as the year 300 BC.

The crown is made of solid gold and as such it is fairly heavy, it has no inlaid gemstones of any kind nor there appear to be any cavities where such could even have been placed. The crown is exquisitely decorated with patterns that are reminiscent of human hair and a small golden hair bun is affixed to the back of the crown, as was the royal style of the time.
