Scepters' Toppers are also known as ORBS, which is a four-letter word. ORBS are decorative spheres that are placed atop a sceptre, a staff or rod held by a ruling monarch as an emblem of authority. They are usually made of precious metals and stones, and often feature intricate designs. Historically, they have been used to symbolize power and wealth, and are still used today in some royal ceremonies.
