Pharaoh's Crook and Flail Brooch

This Pharaoh's Crook and Flail brooch is from the Metropolitan Museum of Art (marked MMA). It commemorated the 1976 of the King Tut Exhibition.

It has blue enamel paint and is gold plated and in Very Good, Pre-owned condition.

Measuring approximately 2-1/4 inches high by 1-3/4 inches wide, it would make a great gift to the ancient history buff in your life!

Originally linked solely to the god Osiris, the crook and flail later became a combined symbol of the pharaoh's authority.

The shepherd’s crook stood for the power and responsibility of kingship, while the flail was shorthand for the fertility of the land.
