imperial regalia
Monarch's ceremonial objects
Imperial regalia are the ceremonial objects symbolizing a monarch's authority and sovereignty—crowns, scepters, orbs, robes, and similar items used in coronations and state occasions.
These objects carry enormous symbolic weight and are typically kept under heavy guard: The British Crown Jewels are the most famous imperial regalia in the world.
The term applies to any empire's formal symbols of rule.
