The famous double-crown of Egypt was the Pschent crown. It combined the red crown of Lower Egypt, and the white crown of Upper Egypt, thus symbolizing the pharaoh’s rule over a united land.
While pharaohs are depicted as wearing this crown – and many others – no crown has never been found in a pharaoh’s tomb. This suggests that the crowns themselves belonged to the state. Pharaohs received the originals form their predecessor, and passed it on to their successor.
