There are 2 ceremonial items on the ground, and Josephine should drop the third. It is a staff, so check your weapon inventory and see if you have any unidentified staffs. Also, it may have dropped behind the stairs or wall, so hitting the alt key and moving your mouse cursor methodically over areas hidden from direct view may find it.
