The goddess Seshat (sSAt in hieroglyphs) carries a compound hieroglyph on her head. This has been interpreted as either a palm tree or a hemp plant under a double numeral 10 hieroglyph, but this interpretation is not entirely certain.
Seshat is connected with writing (her name means "she who scribes"), but also with measuring out land for construction, with the stars, with mathematics and with wisdom and knowledge. Some see the "hemp plant" (if that is what is shown) as referring to the hemp ropes used in surveying. In another manifestation she is called Safekh-Aubi and has two horns or cobras replacing the hieroglyphs.
The compound signs do not refer to writing or anything connected with scribes and are something of a mystery. This is one of many cases where the symbolism of the design is far from clear - we still have much to learn about ancient Egyptian religion.
