 * Hieroglyphics:**



The symbol of Lower Egypt, the Red Crown was a chair-shaped arrangement made of red cloth with a low front and tall back, from which protruded a leather or wire coil. The goddess Wadjet, in cobra form, was often depicted on the brow. The Red Crown was worn by the pharaoh on occasions involving Lower Egypt only. It was also worn by the deities Wadjet, Andjety, Amaunet, Geb, and Neith. On some occasions amulets of the Red Crown, made of gold, carnelian, and faience, were buried with the dead. The Red Crown was combined with the White Crown to make the Double Crown.
