Staff end with bull-headed god


Staff end with bull-headed god
This staff end shaped like a papyrus umbel has a bull-headed god spearing an animal on top of it. The shaft is missing. The god is shown striding and is wearing a short pleated kilt. He has short straight horns and a sun disc with uraeus on his head. The eyes were originally inlaid with another material. The transition from the papyrus umbel to the base has been achieved by a papyrus stem with umbel at both the front and the back.
