Chapter Egyptian Pharaoh Najib

The Egyptian Pharaoh Najib headpiece is a pharaoh headpiece with metallic-sheen stripes in blue and gold, a cobra above the forehead and long side panels. The panels fall along your cheeks down to your shoulders and immediately evoke the image of the Egyptian kings of antiquity. The model is designed for men and completes a pharaoh costume during carnival or at an Egyptian-themed party.

Stripes, cobra and lining of the pharaoh headpiece

• Wide horizontal stripes in metallic blue and gold run across the hood and across both side panels.
• Above the forehead is a gold-colored cobra with a blue head and a little red tongue.
• The inside of the headpiece is lined with a yellow-green fabric.
• The material is 100% polyester.
• You must not wash, bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean the headpiece.
• You only receive the headpiece, so the collar, staff and tunic from the styling are not included.

Why does a pharaoh wear a striped headscarf with a snake?

In ancient Egypt, a pharaoh wore the nemes, a striped royal headscarf whose panels fall forward on either side of the face. The upright cobra on the forehead, the uraeus, represented royal power and protection. It is precisely these two details that make a pharaoh look instantly recognizable. Because the side panels hang down to your shoulders, this headpiece frames your face like a wig does, and that is why you choose it over a crown or hat if you want your entire head to be in Egyptian style.

As a pharaoh through the parade or across the dance floor

In a carnival parade, the blue and gold stands out the most over a plain white or black tunic, because the stripes are then the only pattern in your outfit. A wide shoulder collar in blue and gold fits nicely against the bottom of the side panels. If you are going to an indoor party, draw a long line to your temples with black eyeliner, just like in ancient Egyptian images. If you are walking with a group, a golden staff or scepter in your hand gives the pharaoh a clear role among the rest.
