Headpiece of Ra's Staff
The Staff of Ra was apparently long lost to the ages. However, it's headpiece contained instructions on how to make a new one. The instructions written on the headpiece stated that the staff should be six kadams high. However, the obverse of the headpiece held specific instructions; that the builder was to subtract one kadam out of respect for the Hebrew God.
The headpiece was discovered by the archeologist Abner Ravenwood in 1926, and later came into the hands of his daughter Marion, who wore it around her neck as a medallion, as seen in the film "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1982).
