Description: | This elaborately carved sceptre, or fly-whisk handle shows the image of a snake or reptile at the base, with a smooth shaft surmounted by a horse and rider sitting on a plinth. The costume or regalia of the rider is extremely detailed and the rider holds the horse's reins in his left hand and a staff or spear in the right. An ivory peg is visible in the horse's forehead. There is some damage to the left hand and the left side of the snake's mouth at the base; the horse's right ear is also broken.
