Ankh-Tawy, 1753 BC.
It is a simple thing really. A wooden stick with ox-hairs glued on its end, but the scepter symbolizes royal authority. Sobekkara Sobekneferu, Egypt's second female ruler wields her scepter as an amulet, protection from the noblemen in her court. After all, they slew one monarch, they may slay another.
San Francisco, 2007.
