Head cone

Not to be confused with an Elizabethan collar.

Head cones, also known as perfume cones or wax cones, were a type of conical ornament worn atop the head in ancient Egypt. They are often depicted on paintings and bas-reliefs of the era, but were not found as archaeological evidence until 2009 in Amarna, according to research published in 2019.
