Sceptre of Númenor

In Númenor, the power of the Kings and Queens was symbolised not by a crown, but by a Sceptre, held by Elros Tar-Minyatur and all his ruling descendants to the time of Ar-Pharazôn.

In Númenor , the power of the Kings and Queens was symbolised not by a crown, but by a Sceptre , held by Elros Tar-Minyatur and all his ruling descendants to the time of Ar-Pharazôn . Among the early Kings, it was normal to voluntarily surrender the Sceptre to an Heir, but this tradition was abandoned in later years. The Lords of Andúnië , the second most powerful nobles on the island , also had their own sceptre.
