A dark-colored wooden display case with a glass top and a blue velvet base sits on a pale-colored tile floor. Inside the case is a long, dark-colored wooden object laying diagonally across the base. The object is partially obscured by a white paper sign attached to the back of the display case. There is also a black and white photograph of two people sitting in chairs at a table, facing each other. The image is taken inside the Stone Town Museum in Zanzibar, Tanzania. The museum is located at latitude: -6.166, longitude: 39.2. The object is a ceremonial staff used by the Sultan of Zanzibar. The staff is made of ebony wood and is decorated with silver and ivory. The photograph shows the Sultan of Zanzibar, Seyyid Barghash bin Said, with his wife, Fatma binti Hamoud bin Said. The sign on the back of the display case gives a brief description of the object and the photograph. The text on the sign is: "This staff was used by Sultan Seyyid Barghash bin Said during his rule in Zanzibar from 1870 to 1888. The Sultan of Zanzibar, Seyyid Barghash bin Said, is shown with his favorite wife, Fatma binti Hamoud bin Said, sitting in their residence."
