Coronation ritual objects
Orb and scepter are the ceremonial objects held by monarchs during coronations and formal occasions.
The orb is a golden globe topped with a cross, representing sovereign power over the earth; the scepter is an ornamental staff symbolizing royal authority.
Together they form the iconic image of kingship: The monarch sat enthroned, orb and scepter in hand.
