The Sceptre, another symbol of monarchial power, was first used in the 1500s. It was built in Arabia, but according to the styles preserved from the sceptres wielded by ancient nomadic kings.
The sceptre is an amazing work of art, with a giant crystal forming the head, with lions carved into the three faces. Gold and silver filigree are found on all surfaces, and the sceptre is almost as famous as an artisitic masterpiece as it is as a symbol of royal power.
