Hat Tutankhamun Egypt

The Tutankhamun Egypt hat is a pharaoh headpiece with wide black and gold bands, a green snake above the forehead and two long side panels.

The striped pattern immediately evokes the kings along the Nile, as you know them from temple reliefs and tomb treasures. For men who want to appear as a pharaoh during carnival, this hat makes the costume instantly recognizable.

The striped pattern of the pharaoh hat

The striped headcloth of a pharaoh is called a nemes, and the best-known example can be seen on Tutankhamun's golden death mask. The snake on the forehead refers to the cobra that pharaohs wore as a sign of their kingship. This hat follows that image with the typical side panels, but in black and gold instead of the blue and gold of the mask.

What do you wear under the pharaoh hat in a carnival parade?

Under the pharaoh hat in a carnival parade, it is best to wear a simple tunic in white or gold, so that the black-and-gold striped pattern gets the attention. A thick black line along the eyelid, extended to the temple, fits the ancient Egyptian style and remains visible even from a distance. Gold bracelets or a wide collar match the gold bands of the hat. Because the hat is not washable, you take it off before going to eat in the pub.

Order the Tutankhamun hat and walk in the parade as a pharaoh during carnival.
