The Lotus Scepter

The Lotus Scepter was a staff ending in an open lotus flower, on which two plumes were mounted at times. It was especially associated with female deities, like Isis, Bast, and Sekhmet , who often carried it, and also with the god Nefertem. An inscription from the Pyramid of Unas states: "Sit on the throne of Osiris, your Ames Scepter in your hand, so that you give orders to the living, your Lotus Scepter in your other hand, so that you give orders to those whose seats are hidden (the dead)."
