Andjety was the Egyptian deity of the underworld who is believed to be the god that became Osiris. Andjety and Osiris were closely associated. Ultimately, their symbols were similar. Both had the symbol of the crook and flail. Andjety wore a high, cone-shaped crown with two feathers. Andjety was the god of fertility.

The god Osiris is usually depicted as a mummified king with green skin, wearing the hDt ("white crown") flanked with two long feathers. He can be seen holding the crook and fly-whisk of royalty.Sometimes, when shown standing, he holds the long sceptre called wAs, a hieroglyph sign for authority or dominion which is also carried by many other gods and goddesses. It has a jackal-like head at the top and a forked shape at the lower end.
The Egyptian crook and flail were symbolic objects associated with the pharaoh's power and authority. The crook represented kingship and the pharaoh's role as a shepherd of the people, while the flail symbolized his ability to maintain order and discipline. These symbols were often depicted in royal regalia and funerary art in ancient Egypt.
