ceremonial weapon
Decorative parade blade
A ceremonial weapon is a weapon designed or used primarily for display, ritual, or symbolic purposes rather than combat.
Military officers carry ceremonial swords at formal events; guards at palaces hold ornate halberds never meant for battle.
The term also describes antique weapons preserved as cultural artifacts: The museum's collection includes ceremonial weapons from the Ming dynasty.
