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.

The wheel represents
Buddha’s teachings. It is divided into three parts: the rim,
spokes, and hub. The spokes represent perfect wisdom, the hub
stands for regulation, and the rim represents
meditation.
