Crook and flail represented in the most iconic colors -- gold and blue
Knowing the original function of the crook and flail helps us see how they were used as symbols representing roles of the pharaoh. The crook was known as the heka in Egyptian. It originated from the staff (known as an awet) that shepherds used to protect their sheep. The crook represented his role as a shepherd in caring for the people of Egypt. The flail was known as the nekhakha in Egyptian. It was a rod with three strands of beads attached to the top.

there are all kinds of geometric things in Egyptian things...don't know if I or anyone could gather them all, and suggest their import...but, like the step fret in the New World, the geometries are evidence of something!...the crook and flail is always depicted like that, crossed, (not always crossed!)with the flail hanging down at an angle...one site has it the crook is a shepherd's crook, the curled part an addition to a straight shepherd's staff...Fletch with a lead off hit!...bottom of fifth...Rangers made out...Walsh up...Fletch is batting like sixth...hmmph...the alternating colors hark to, echo, the bands on Pharaoh's headgear...the chevrons on the flair, something...there being three flails, something...Ohkepho with a base hit...two on, one out...Lastella up...K...Trout up...Trout's home run is the Angels one score...line drive out first pitch...hmmph...to top of sixth...search: heka brings up a bunch about an Egyptian god noted for magic...and, site above has it right...

The crook (otherwise known as the heka) was cane with a crooked handle normally made of gold and reinforced with blue copper bands. It is believed to have originated from the man-high staff used by shepherds known as the awet.

On the other hand, the flail or flabellum (known as the nekhakha)was rod attached with three beaded strands. Its earliest representation was that of King Den during the First Dynasty believed to waiting for the Sed festival. Both symbols are reminiscent of the role of the pharaoh’s as the cattle of god and the herdsmen of humanity. Despite more commonly seen used by deities, these royal insignias are a few of the symbols that the ruling pharaoh takes to his grave.

This ivory plaque is a label. The sandals incised on the back indicate that it was originally attached to a pair belonging to Den, the fifth king of the First Dynasty.
On the king’s forehead, is a rearing cobra or ‘uraeus’, signifying the protection of the powerful goddess Wadjet. Worn for the first time by Den, the uraeus will become a significant part of the royal crowns of kings and queens.

those labels are something...they were used like the roller stamps/seals of the Sumerians...sealing and identifying ownership, numbers of things...for sometime these labels...and King Den too!...Rangers running amok...Rangers 5-1...

The earliest representation of a king carrying the crook is a small statue of Ninetjer from the 2nd Dynasty.

could very considerably, using different types of beads and the lengths between the beads could be broken up into several segments. The flail appears alone on some of the earliest representations of royal ceremonies, as shown in the example from a label of King Den in the 1st Dynasty, sitting under a canopy or in some ritual structure, waiting to run the Sed-festival.

However, some scholars prefer to regard it as a ladanisterion, a flail-like instrument used until the present day by shepherds in the Mediterranean region and elsewhere for collecting ladanum, a gummy substance excreted from the leaves of the Cistus plant. According to classical writers, it was used in the preparation of incense and unguents. This suggestion, proposed by the late Professor P.E. Newberry who helped in the clearance of Tutankhamun's tomb, is plausible, but, as yet, there is no clear evidence that the Cistus plant grew in Egypt during pharaonic times, but perhaps it could have been used to harvest other gums.

that's the aforementioned label!...it's wood, and was attached to oil jar, and found in King Den's tomb...note his sitting under the 'little house', the canopy mentioned in yesterday's posts...
quote
Ivory and wooden labels are one of the most important items found in 1st dynasty royal and private tombs.
They were attached to vessels containing various kinds of commodities (especially oil and fat) by means of a lace passing in a circular hole generally carved in the upper right corner (of the label's recto).
The hieroglyphic signs onto them were engraved (less frequently painted in black and red ink) and often filled with coloured paste.
The label size ranges from about 1 to 9 cm in breadth and 1,5 - 3 mm in thickness.

Osborn believes these symbols also may record the phenomenon of the Solstices and Equinoxes, whereby the Egyptians were linking the Solstices to the “opposites” / “duality” and the Equinoxes to the “center” / “balance.” Posting the following image, Osborn writes:
“In esoteric thought, the crook and flail would also represent the opposites of Summer and Winter in the yearly cycle. The flail, a kind of whip, or ‘fly whip,’ is associated with Summer. The flail is also used to reap the corn. The crook is associated with the shepherding of the flock during Winter, and of course images of shepherds holding crooks are often displayed on Christmas greeting cards. Summer is related to the Sun and the colour Red, and therefore the male principle, and Winter is related to the Moon and the colour White, and therefore the feminine principle. So symbolically, these two items represent the opposites of Summer and Winter…”

actually, actually, the angle of her shoulders is suspect too!...a circle, a curl, a straight edge, a staff...pyramid hat, and, mountains...some say the plaque is modern...two lions, two owls, two bird feet...anyone with life drawing experience will see the expertise, the knowing of anatomy, by the artist...nowadays this is common knowledge, seen in comics all the time, but back then?...note the hip bones, pelvic bones...noting those makes me wonder if it is modern...but then, the paintings of animals in those French caves are spot on...go figure!...this I didn't know, but saw it on close up of the lions, they have the marks on their shoulders like the Egyptian lions...Rangers make out...to bottom of eighth...for sometime those marks, again, went on about them last season too...

the recurve of the outline of the hips beneath the iliac crest, and the bony structure of the legs with distinct knee caps all suggest "an artistic skill that is almost certainly derived from observed study".
