What is a Scepter?
A scepter is a ceremonial device which denotes an office of high power, and it is particularly associated with royalty. In British English, it is spelled sceptre. Scepters are often heavily ornamented to make them more imposing to look at, and they are usually held or carried during ceremonial events or for portraits. Particular scepters are associated with specific royal families, and they are often passed down through multiple generations of kings and queens.
