ceremonial gift
Ritualistic offering given
A ceremonial gift is something given as part of a formal ritual, tradition, or diplomatic exchange rather than out of personal generosity.
The emphasis is on the symbolic act of giving: The ambassador presented a ceremonial gift to the head of state.
Such gifts mark occasions like state visits, religious rites, or cultural observances, where the gesture matters as much as the object.
