QUEEN'S ORB
During the coronation ceremony, the Archbishop of Canterbury places the orb in the right hand
of the Monarch. It is put back on the altar. The Monarch leaves the coronation wearing the
Crown, carrying the Sceptre, and holding the Orb.

orb was made for Mary II. It is called Queen Mary's Orb. It was used once and never used
again. Both orbs were placed on Queen Victoria's coffin at her funeral.
The orbs are hollow balls of gold.  Queen Mary's orb  measures 5.75" in diameter. It weighs
34oz 6dwt. Queen Mary's orb was originally set with hired jewels. Today it is set with
imitations for display purposes.
