Anyone help on this question below? I know the beard was Pharaonic symbol. Beyond that I don't have much:

Dave Light

"I cannot find any information on what role the beards play in egyptian iconography and what they symbolize...why are some gods' beards shaped in one way, others in another? Why is Ptah's beard straight, while Osiris's beard is crooked?"
