the symbol on the staff is the ankh (pronounced onk) and it represents everlasting life
Anubis carried a staff.
The staff that Anubis is often pictured with is a Was Sceptre. It appears as a long staff with an animal head on top and a forked end. Was Sceptres were used as a symbol of power or dominion.
Anubis has several symbols, the was- sceptre (power), the flail (protection), the Imiut fetish (embalming/death), as well as the Ankh (eternal life).
This staff is possibly the "was-scepter". This is a long staff mounted with an animal head. It was a symbol of power or dominion, and seen being held by Set and Anubis. In later use, it was a symbol of control over the force of chaos that Set represented. In a funerary context the was sceptre was responsible for the well-being of the deceased.
Maybe Anubis... I'm not quite sure. Sorry.
A staff symbol represents the notes to play. For example:treble clef is higher then bass clef.
Anubis' symbol is the black jackal. It represents death and the afterlife according to ancient Egyptian mythology. Anubis, the god of embalming, was often portrayed with the head of a jackal, and the black color symbolized the decay and transformation that occurs after death.
It represents two of his pet snakes.
The staff is called a crozier and is part of the "uniform" for any bishop. It represents a shepherd's staff as the bishop is the sheperd of his flock, or diocese.
it represents the freedom and language of the people
When depicted standing alone, the Egyptian god Anubis (hieroglyphs 'inpw) holds an ankh symbol in one hand and a staff in the other (either left or right, depending on which way he is facing) The same staff is also seen being carried by Ra, Thoth, Isis, Amon and many other gods.The staff is simply an elongated version of the hieroglyph wAs, meaning "dominion" or lordship, signifying the authority of the particular god or goddess holding it.
