imperial insignia

Emperor's official symbols

Imperial insignia are the symbols and objects that mark sovereign power—crowns, scepters, orbs, thrones, seals, and ceremonial robes.

These items distinguish emperors, empresses, and their representatives from ordinary subjects.

The imperial insignia were displayed during the coronation.

By extension, any badges or emblems denoting supreme authority within a hierarchy.
