The Pharaoh 3-piece snake scepter is a pharaoh staff with a gold-colored cobra as the knob, with an open mouth and a wide hood on a black shaft. It is intended to complete an Egyptian ruler costume, whether you are parading as a pharaoh during carnival or attending an Egyptian-themed party. The cobra head immediately identifies the staff as a royal attribute rather than an ordinary walking stick, so choose it if the snake is meant to characterize your character.
What does the snake scepter look like?
The snake scepter consists of three parts: a gold-colored cobra head and two black shaft sections that fit together to form one staff.
- The cobra has a scaled hood, an open mouth, and a dark, weathered gold tone that gives it an antique appearance.
- Below the snake head is a decorated band that forms the transition to the shaft.
- The two shaft sections are matte black and have ribbed ends that allow them to fit together and onto the head.
- The material is 100% polypropylene.
- The scepter is from the Boland brand.
The cobra as a symbol of the pharaoh
The upright cobra was a symbol of royal power in ancient Egypt. Pharaohs wore it as a uraeus at the front of their crown or headdress, as a protector of the ruler. A staff or scepter was also part of the image of the king, as a visible sign of authority. A staff with a snake head brings those two symbols together in one accessory.
A complete pharaoh look around the scepter
The scepter is a separate accessory, so you put together the rest of the outfit yourself. A black or white tunic with a striped headdress in blue and gold forms the basis of the pharaoh look. A wide golden collar, a golden belt, and bracelets around the wrists bring back the gold of the cobra head. Hold the staff upright next to you, with the head above your hand, so that the snake remains clearly visible even in a busy parade.
Order the Pharaoh 3-piece snake scepter and give your pharaoh the staff that belongs with his crown during carnival.
