Retailer Mardi Gras Scepter—Rex Queen 1

This wonderful Mardi Gras Scepter was hand-tooled in wood by Wand Woman, then adorned in all of its regal glory by a New Orleans native who spent many a Fat Tuesday throwing trinkets from an Elks Krewe of Orleanians truck. This scepter honors the Krewe of Rex, known as the King of Carnival and the most prominent parade on Mardi Gras day. The Queen's scepter is adorned with a smaller crown-shaped knob than the King's scepter. Rex was founded in 1872 when a Russian count was to visit the city. To honor the royal visitor, the group used the regal colors or purple, green, and gold for the first time.

Each Mardi Gras Scepter is a one-of-a-kind decorative item and no two are exactly alike. Crafted with hand-turned wood and decorated with paint, glitter with ornaments, ribbons retailer and trims. We hope your will enjoy this magical scepter in your annual Mardi Gras decor or as a part of your costume.
