Blue Crown (War Crown / Khepresh)

3D Model

The Blue Crown (hprs), sometimes referred to as the War Crown, is attested in texts from the Second Intermediate Period onward. and is one of the most common headdresses found in ancient Egypt worn by kings and gods alike. Some depictions show the crown adorned with a raised pattern, while at other times there were none. It may have evolved from the cap crown. It is typically decorated with circlets. The earliest distinctive representation is from the reign of Kamose. The contexts in which it is depicted suggest that it came to be the quintessential crown of the living ruler, which could incorporate the symbolism of other headdresses. It is closely related to the nemes, which appears to mark a deceased king when both headdresses are shown together.
