The stick
measures 9,5 cm
of height and
4,2-cm large with a
thickness of 0,6 cm. The iconography is perpendicular to
the height, that is in the sense where
one carries it
to the belt. Its usage would
be to religious or magic ends, or to mark the rank. On this face, one sees the scene said of the "master of the
animals" seen in the tomb n°100 of Hierakonpolis, more ancient. It would be about an mesopotamian influence. The rest of the scene would concern hunt.

On the other face, all figures are Egyptian, some
to long hair, others to
short hair. The boats would be
representative of the valley of the Nile. The sculpted fight could be bound to struggles having marked the end
of the precursory period.. For B.
Midant-Reynes, it
would be about
the man's
directory to the fight. The disarticulated bodies are laid down, showing the opposition between life and death.
