Grand Nagus' staff

The Grand Nagus' staff, also called the Sceptre of the Grand Nagus, was an item that was held by the Ferengi Grand Nagus. () It was traditional for an individual to kiss the head of the staff upon receiving advice from the Nagus. () 
The Grand Proxy could carry a replica of the staff as a symbol of the authority granted to him by the Grand Nagus. ()
In 2371, Zek gave the staff to Benjamin Sisko to prove to Quark that he wanted him to help the to locate the Founders. ()
While living in the Vic's Las Vegas Lounge holoprogram, Nog commented that a cane given to him by Vic Fontaine (a replica of a cane used by Errol Flynn) was reminiscent of the Grand Nagus' staff. ()
As he passed the reins of power to Rom, Zek also gave him the staff, a symbol of the power it represented. ()
In 2381, the staff was stolen from Rom and ended up in the Museum of Antiquities on Tulgana IV. As the Ferengi were offering a substantial reward for its return, it was stolen back from the museum by independent archaeologist Petra Aberdeen. ()
