The Egyptian symbol for royalty that ruled a particular region in Egypt is called the Hedjet. Often worn on the headdress of pharaohs, the Hedjet is a tall, cylindrical crown with a knob at the top and a curved body that resembles the lower half of a pear. It was commonly worn by pharaohs of Upper Egypt and was considered to be a symbol of power and authority. The Hedjet was often paired with the Desheret, a red crown that represented Lower Egypt, to symbolize the pharaoh's rule over both Upper and Lower Egypt.
