The parasol is a symbol of royalty and protection. It is a symbol of protection because a parasol is an umbrella that shades one from the sun. The handle of the parasol is said to hold the world. The parasol can also signify status. If one is of high rank, one could carry a silk parasol. If one is of an even higher rank, one could carry a peacock-feather parasol.
