Pine Cone
A male pine cone is known as microstrobilus and a female as megastrobilus, kind of like micro and macrocosm!
The pine cone is a symbol of immortality and the divine in earth-based religions and the Oreiades (gnomes/nymphs, beings who discovered iron (blood/saturn) and invented smelting. The Oreiades are often seen as carrying a snake and a large staff with a pine cone on top.
Dionysus:
Staff of Hermes:
And the Pine Cone pic from the Lisbon Globe thread:
For the Assyrians the pine-cone may have symbolized the whole process of re-birth with seeds falling to the earth and creating new pine trees. Like the Phoenix out of the ashes!
Then there is the Lotus with a 1000 petals (Sahasrara) to consider as well!

The Vatican:"E. A. Wallis Budge has noted that in some of the papyri illustrating the entrance of the souls of the dead into the judgment hall of Osiris the deceased person has a pine cone attached to the crown of his head. The Greek mystics also carried a symbolic staff, the upper end being in the form of a pine cone, which was called the thyrsus of Bacchus. In the human brain there is a tiny gland called the pineal body, which is the sacred eye of the ancients, and corresponds to the third eye of the Cyclops. " Manly P. Hall

Re: Pine Cone
What are those BIRDS doing there right beside the large pine cone at the Vatican?
I believe they're peacocks, how interesting.
