Prestigestab eines Würdeträgers.

Ranghohe Würdenträger, z.B. regionalen Fürsten, Dorfhäuptlinge oder Stammesälteste - verfügen über einen reiches Repertoire an sichtbaren Amtssymbolen. Zu diesen Insignien zählen vielfach auch kunstvoll geschnitzte Amtsstäbe, die mitunter als Erbstücke innerhalb der königlichen Linie vererbt wurden.

Ihre Verwendung ist vielseitig und die Symbolik komplex. Sie dienen z.B. einfach als Stütze, als Schutzinstrument, zum Stochern, Stupsen und Schubsen, zum Winken und Abwinken oder generell, um Zeichen zu geben.

Darüber hinaus sind sie aber auch metaphorische Erweiterungen der Hand und unterstreichen die Anwesenheit der Ahnen bei Gesprächen. Sie verdeutlichen die Abstammung der Besitzer und werden anlässlich öffentlicher Auftritte präsentiert. Mancherorts wird bei Amtseinführungen der Würdenträger auch der Eid darauf geschworen.
