The Walking Sticks of King Tutankhamun
In the tomb of Tutankhamen we found around 130 complete and fragmentary examples of sticks and canes from the Antechamber, the annex and the burial chamber. This led Carter to believe that Tutankhamen was an amateur collector of walking sticks or canes.
In the light of the recent DNA examination performed early in 2010 on the mummy of Tutankhamun, scientists discovered that he suffered from a disease (Avascular bone necrosis), which caused him to have a lame foot. This evidence gives a logical explanation for the presence of this vast collection of walking canes and sticks recovered from his tomb.
Many of the canes were clearly ritualistic while others showed signs of use. There were different types such as long staffs with knobbed and forked tops used for killing snakes, crooked sticks…etc
Some of the canes and sticks in this showcase are made out of wood; some of them gilded and other sticks were just the upper part of the ceremonial fans held by attendants. The latter ones contain cartouches of King Tutankhamen; the coronation name and sometimes the birth name.
We can see here there are several sticks or canes having curved ends these curved ends were decorated with enemies most probably these enemies were depicted upside down in order to ensure that they are under the subjugation of the king and that he has full control on them.
The most important cane or stick here is the Cane with two prisoners. It was discovered among others and some bows and arrows inside an oblong box found in the Antechamber at the foot of the lion-headed funerary couch. It is made out of gilded bronze.
