The Royal Court
Royal Pose
Sitting on his throne, this pharaoh wears a hedjet, the crown of Upper
Egypt, and holds an ankh in one hand and a dog-headed scepter in
the other.
Double Crown
This illustration shows the double crown, which combined the red
crown of Lower Egypt and the white crown of Upper Egypt.
Blue Crown
Worn by the pharaohs of the New Kingdom like Tutankhamun, the blue
crown was linked to the sun god.
Head-dress
The pharaohs’ striped head-dress was called the nemes cloth. It was
often worn with a ceremonial beard, a symbol of royalty.
Crook and flail
The shepherd’s crook (right) and flail were emblems of the god Osiris and
important parts of a pharaoh’s regalia.
Antechamber
This illustration shows Howard Carter and his team exploring the treasure-
packed antechamber of Tutankahmun’s tomb in 1922.
