Aha. Those rods typically weren't "copper and zinc", they were rods machined from silicate rock (for the right hand), and carbonate rock (for the left hand). So, for the right hand: quartz, quartzite, novaculite, etc; and for the left hand, limestone, dolomite, calcite, marble, and so on.
Those statues illustrate various postures that are part of an ancient Egyptian equivalent of Qi Gong practice. I do this every day, using a quartz crystal in my right hand, and a calcite crystal in my left hand (for those postures using closed hands; most postures use open hands). The best times are sunrise, noon, and sunset. I demonstrated a routine to several attendees at the last Homecoming.
This practice is remarkably beneficial to the energy body, facilitating healing and well-being, and I cannot recommend it too highly. If you are interested in pursuing this art, I suggest reading the book The Egyptian Postures of Power, by Jason Quitt. It's made a great positive difference in my life.
