Scepter Cobra

The Cobra scepter is a 90 cm gold-coloured costume staff that ends in an upright cobra head with a flared neck.

Take it with you to a carnival or an Egyptian-themed party, where it will give a pharaoh costume a royal look. The staff is designed for women and men, so it suits a pharaoh as well as an Egyptian queen.

The cobra as an Egyptian royal symbol

The upright cobra was one of the best-known symbols of royal power in ancient Egypt. Pharaohs wore the snake as a uraeus at the front of their crown or headdress, where it was meant to protect the ruler. A staff with a cobra head therefore immediately shows that you are playing a ruler from the land of the Nile, not a medieval king.

How to make your pharaoh costume instantly recognisable with the scepter

A pharaoh is primarily recognisable by the combination of gold and white: a white tunic, a wide gold-coloured belt and a headdress with black and gold stripes. Gold bracelets on the wrists and thick black eyeliner complete the look. The scepter is sold separately, so you can choose your own costume pieces to go with it. Hold the staff upright beside your body, with the cobra head facing forward, and everyone will recognise the Egyptian ruler.

Order the Cobra scepter and walk around at carnival as a pharaoh with a golden snake staff in your hand.
