regalia
Crowns and scepters
Regalia are the ceremonial objects and clothing that mark rank or office—crowns, scepters, robes, chains of office.
The term originally referred to royal insignia but extends to any formal trappings of authority or membership: academic regalia, Masonic regalia.
More loosely, regalia can mean fancy dress or elaborate costume: She showed up in full disco regalia.
