👉 An appointed weapon, also known as a ceremonial or official weapon, is a specific type of weapon that is designated and assigned to an individual, often a high-ranking official, leader, or military figure, for ceremonial purposes or as a symbol of authority. Unlike standard combat weapons, appointed weapons are typically ornate, intricately crafted, and designed more for display than for actual use in conflict. They often carry significant cultural, historical, or symbolic weight and are used in formal events, such as state functions, military parades, or diplomatic receptions, to convey respect, honor, and the individual's rank or role within the hierarchy.
