Question:

What is the paraoh holding?

like a cane.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It's known as a "crook." And it was always carried with the "flail." (The object that looks like a whip). They were symbols of the god Osiris. He was sometimes called "The Good Shephard" and that's why he's associated with the shephard's crook. The flail was the symbol of justice.

Together they represent the Pharoah as Osiris' stand-in on earth. The god-king who is the good shephard and bringer of justice
