I have always found Symbology an interesting topic, its as if The symbol takes on a value greater than itself.

What does the Cobra stand for?
And the Eagle, or is it a vulture?
I think the first times I saw replicas of his iconic golden striped headdress with a cobra over the forehead was at the NY Museum of Nat History, and in the movie 'Mannequin'. I thought the movie was named mannequin and had King tut in the beginning, cause King Tut was the first mannequin ever, at least that's what I learned in like 2nd grade history.
The original bust of King Tut (the 1350bc one?) only has a Cobra.
Anyways I don't remember there being a bird next to the cobra and there is plenty of residue (ie, replicas, haloween costumes, etc) that have only the cobra too. But when I saw the bird in recent years I thought it was an eagle and stood for the West off center, and thus that the cobra stood for the East and center.
Having a hard time finding the actual significance, though. anyone knows?

Kind of looks like he had a trip to dairy queen on his mind, one of those sundays that come in a cup.
Click on the mask and tell me what you see that he has on his mind.

Theres still most drawings and illustrations have the cobra alone than a bird alongside it.
Peculiar.
