This lightweight Egyptian Ankh styled staff is approximately 40" long and is collapsible (2-pieces) making shipping and storage so much easier. The ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that represents "life," and is often called the "key of life" or "Egyptian cross". It symbolizes eternal life, immortality, and divine power, and was used in art, religious ceremonies, and amulets by pharaohs and gods like Isis, Osiris, and Ra to represent creation and dominion over life and death. This staff is perfect for theatrical productions, cosplay, Christmas, Easter, school projects, biblical productions and more. Other Egyptian, Religious and Historical inspired costumes and accessories are sold separately on our page – subject to availability.
