Ceremonial armour feels so strange concept. For something to become ceremonial it must first have real use case. You don't just go around inventing things from zero. Maybe you will scale it up and make it more impressive, but to have meaning it must first at some point had some real use.

Ceremonial objects could be preserved and their progenitors lost, due to material reuse, ceremonial objects being well preserved through different storage methods, or something else. However, usually objects of ceremonial use are also functional, just too expensive for everyone to use. E.g. we would tend to find an especially engraved bowl in ruins of a religious building—-it could still hold soup or beer in a pinch.
