One gold and black striped Pharaoh headpiece with cobra emblem

This Adult Egyptian Pharaoh Headpiece transforms you into ancient royalty with its metallic gold and black striped nemes crown—the classic Egyptian headdress worn by rulers from King Tut to Cleopatra's court.

The structured headpiece features radiating stripes from the rounded crown, two elongated side lappets that drape over your shoulders, and a small cobra (uraeus) emblem at the centre front in green with red accents. Lightweight padded construction holds its shape without weighing you down, while the metallic fabric catches the light for that authentic ancient-civilisation shimmer.

Book Week & Historical Projects: A standout pick for ancient Egypt Book Week themes, Horrible Histories character days, or any school project exploring pharaohs and pyramids.

Stage & Screen: Ideal for drama productions like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Aida, or school nativity plays featuring Egyptian scenes—plus costume parties, museum events, and historical reenactments.

Halloween & Themed Events: Pair with a white tunic and gold accessories for instant pharaoh transformation at Halloween parties, cosplay meetups, or themed pub crawls.

How to Wear It

Rest the headpiece on your head with the cobra centred at your forehead—the lappets drape naturally over your shoulders.
