The Nemes was in fact the striped head-cloth worn by pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Usually it covered the whole crown and back of the head and nape of the neck and had two large flaps which hung down behind the ears and in front of both shoulders.

∙ 10y agoThe nemes headdress symbolizes, from the front, the flaring hood of the protective goddess Wadjet, the uraeus or spitting cobra, whose image, along with Nekhbet, appears on the golden crown which encircles the headdress. From the back, one can see the tail of Wadjet, made up of the braided ends of the headdress. Pharaoh, as he sat on his throne, became the personification of Wadjet, the protectress of Pharaoh and Egypt.
