Ankh Grasping Was Scepters
November 25, 2006
I had a very interesting time of study today.
Noting an unusual image in the Saunernon book of Horus and Thoth purifying Ptolemy XIII, featuring a Ptolemy with two left
hands, I went about on a search for a better image of this. I found one from the photographer which captured a very unique Was scepter I'd seen before. However on today's search, I found a better image of that Was scepter. An Ankh bears arms grasping the Was scepters. (The photographer has many others from the Kom Ombo Temple.)
(As I return to this page January 7, 2007, in case that site doesn't work, here is another another site with the complete ankh.)
This inspired me to sketch the relief sculpture. I couldn't just leave it a a line drawing, so I played around with it a lot. A LOT! Here is thumbnail of light version:
