Mardi Gras Scepter—Proteus Aqua 2024 1

2024 We honor the Krewe of Proteus, founded in 1882, with two different scepters topped with mermaid knobs. Proteus was the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea.

This scepter was hand-turned 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.

Each Mardi Gras Scepter is a one-of-a-kind item and no two are exactly alike. Crafted with hand-turned wood and decorated with paint, glitter, ornaments, ribbons and trims.
