The Serpent-Wound Staff: A Magical Character of Moses
A serpent coils around a tall upright staff with a short transverse arm. Letters and isolated signs are scattered to either side of the central form. The image appears with the magical-law and Mosaic material in the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. Its narrow central shape offers a figurative counterpart to the circular and rectangular seals elsewhere in the volume.
