Description[]

The presidential bulava (mace) is made of gold-plated silver and weighs 750 grams. It consists of two hollow parts: a handle and a top, the so-called apple. The apple of the mace is decorated with gold ornamental medallions and crowned with a gold stylized wreath decorated with stones and enamel. According to tradition, it has 64 stones (emeralds and grenades) in a complex gold frame. It contains a “secret” – a three-edged damask blade bearing the engraving “”, Latin for Everything returns. The top of the mace is adorned with golden ornamental medallions and crowned with an enameled and gemmed golden wreath. The mace is fitted with a total of 64 emeralds and garnets, mounted in gold. The blade can be extracted from the mace by means of a button decorated with a Yakut emerald. The mace is kept in a mahogany carved coffer. The lodgement is made of purple velvet. First, a lock was placed on the casket, which was later replaced by a gilded figure of a guardian angel, so as not to complicate the opening of the casket during the ceremonies.
