Hi, Cary:
The Three Magi sharing a bed are an example of nudes wearing crowns in medieval imagery.

This blogger states they wear their crowns when nude to reflect their exalted status.
This imagery is found many forms, including manuscripts and stained glass.
If l find other examples of nudes with crowns, l’ll post.
