In Kurdish folklore, a hero who receives these objects for killing a snake later uses them as payment to travel to a distant land. One of these objects is used to get advice on using the twig of a tamarisk tree for an arrow to blind and kill Esfandiyar after a long battle. One of these objects is symbolic of Shu’s lightness and emptiness. After reaching adulthood, Zal receives (*) three of these objects, (10[1])the first of which he burns to get advice on how to do a C-section. Red and gold examples of these objects are owned by a creature which, according to Herodotus, appears every 500 years for a ritual involving encasing its father in myrrh. A group of forty-two judges are all depicted with one of these objects on their head that (-5[1])represents Ma’at. For 10 points, in the Egyptian underworld, (-5[1])the hearts of the dead are weighed (10[1])against what (10[1])objects (10[1])deriving from an ostrich? ■END■ (10[1])
