Best Answer

It is the Egyptian 'Was' staff. It appears as a stylized animal head at the top of a long, straight staff with a forked end. It is a symbol of power.

In a funerary context the was sceptre was responsible for the well-being of the deceased, and was thus sometimes included in the tomb equipment or in the decoration of the tomb or coffin.

The was sceptre is also the symbol of the fourth Upper Egyptian nome, the nome of Thebes (called Waset in Egyptian).
