Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi ten kephalen autou {ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ | epì tḕn kephalḗn autoû} ‘upon His head’ foregrounds the exalted location before introducing diademata polla {διαδήματα πολλά | diadḗmata pollà} ‘many crowns’.
In context — Revelation 19:12
But His eyes are a flame of fire, and many crowns rest upon His head; and He has an inscribed name that no one knows except Himself.
