QUEEN'S IVORY ROD SCEPTRE
The sceptre is formed from an ivory rod in three sections, tapering towards the top, and is
surmounted by a gold monde enamelled with the national emblems (rose, thistle, harp and
fleur-de-lis) with a cross above on which perches an enamelled dove with wings folded. The
sections of the rod are joined by gold collars chased with acanthus leaves. The gold pommel
is enamelled like the monde with national emblems. If a sovereign is married at the time of his
coronation, it is usual for the queen consort to be crowned with him. The coronation of the
queen takes place in a short ceremony after the king has been enthroned and has received the
homage of the congregation. The queen consort receives some of the same ornaments as her
husband including an orb and two sceptres - one surmounted by a cross and this one
surmounted by a dove (which represents the Holy Ghost). As the first Queen Consort to
participate in the coronation ceremony since the Restoration of the monarchy, Mary of
Modena required a set of regalia, which was supplied by the royal goldsmith in 1685. The
commission included this Consort's Sceptre with Dove. The sceptre has been used by every
subsequent Queen Consort.
