Tales of the Dragon Kings: Part 6

Turning back to the Chinese mythology figures, I completed one more last night. This figure is listed as a Chinese necromancer. Black Hat also do several packs of zombies that I must get hold of soon

As usual, I scanned around the 'net for any pictures that I could use for reference whilst painting. Not having any luck whatsoever, I had to resort to following the painted example on the Black Hat store..

I've no idea what the staff item is supposed to be, anyone have any suggestions?
