What type of clothing did king Khufu wear?

Asked by Wiki User

The clothing of Egyptian pharaohs differed substantially from that of the common Egyptian man. The only similarities in clothing were the robe and materials. The pharaoh was meant to demonstrate a particular example of cleanliness and wealth through his attire. In addition to main clothing items, pharaohs wore decorated sandals and large amounts of jewelry.

  1. Fabric
    • Like most Egyptians, pharaohs wore clothing made of linen. The linen worn by pharaohs was particularly transparent; this was a visible representation of wealth. Linen was made from flax, a plant native to the region.

    False Beard
    • False beard and nemes on pharaoh.

      Many pharaohs wore false beards. These were attached using thin leather wraps encircling the head.

    Nemes
    • Pharaohs donned a head piece known as a nemes. The nemes was originally made of a single-colored piece of linen and evolved in complexity over time.

    Shendyt
    • Egyptians wearing garment similar to the shendyt.

      The shendyt (a royal apron) was the main piece of clothing in a pharaoh's ensemble. It was placed at the right hip and wrapped around the body, back to front, with detailed pleating.

    Robe
    • Egyptian men wore robes of linen over their kilt-like garments. This garment, in the pharaoh's wardrobe, was to be the most transparent.

    Khol
    • The pharaoh wore khol, a substance made with a dark dye. Khol was applied around the eye to prevent infections and reduce sun glare in the desert climate.

Anthropomorphic, like me and you. The only image known to have survived is a small statuette about 7.5cm in height. Hawk nosed and thin lipped rather like the Duke of Wellington.
