Head cone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, according to research published in 2019.[1][2]
