The Hedjet or White Crown of Upper Egypt is a tall white conical headpiece and was used in later times to denote the pharaohs rulership of Upper Egypt. The White Crown is thought to have been constructed from reeds and therefore actually green.

One of the earliest depictions of the White Crown can be found on the Narmer Palette, displayed in Cario Museum. It was found in Hierakonpolis, by the British archaeologist J.E. Quibell during excavations in 1897/98.
