The Golden Wreath gave Madam Why the power to see things in the past, present and future. It had been in Madam's family since it was given to her ancestor Tanya by Julius Caesar. Caesar had been given the wreath by Queen Cleopatra of Egypt, who had told him that it posessed magical powers. He decided to present it as a gift to Gypsy fortune teller Tanya after she warned him not to cross the old bridge into Rome for fear of his life. Afterwards, the wreath stayed in the gypsy family as an heirloom until it finally ended up in a golden chest owned by Madam Why.
