Summary
| DescriptionQueensland State Emblem, Ceremonial Mace, 1979.jpg |
English: Queensland State Emblem, Ceremonial Mace, 1979. The Mace is the symbol of the Parliament's authority via the Speaker, which has been derived from the Crown. The Mace is carried by the Sergeant-at-Arms when the Speaker enters or leaves the Chamber at the commencement and conclusion of the sitting day.
It was originally an ancient weapon of war which, over the centuries, has been transformed into a symbolic, ceremonial instrument representing parliamentary independence. While the Parliament is sitting, the Mace is placed on two raised brackets on the Table, with the ceremonial head pointing towards the Government's side of the Chamber. In 1978, the Queensland Parliament had its own Mace designed and constructed in Britain by Birmingham goldsmiths and silversmiths, Marples and Beasley. It is 122 cms in length, weighs 7.7 kgs, and is made of sterling silver with a heavy, hard, gold plating. There are 32 Queensland gemstones set in the Mace - nine opals, two garnets, six amethysts and 15 sapphires.
