The Pschent (skhemty) is the Greek name for the double crown worn by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. It is formed by the setting of two distinct crowns:
The White Crown or Hedjet. Oblong white mitre, crown symbolizing the South (Upper Egypt), associated with the god Seth.
The red crown or Decheret. Flat crown with raised bottom, crown symbolizing the North (Lower Egypt), associated with the god Horus.
The Egyptian name of this double crown is skhemty, which will become “pschent” by deformation of “pa-skhemty”, “the two powerful ones”.
From the rear part of the red crown arises a spiraling, forward-curving rod, named Khabet. On the Pschent is placed a cobra ready to strike, symbolizing Wadjet (goddess of Lower Egypt) and a vulture for Nekhbet goddess of Upper Egypt.
This double crown is a powerful political symbol, proclaiming the union of the Two Lands, Upper and Lower Egypt, which especially during the predynastic period and the First Intermediate Period were divided. It gives the king his legitimacy in the North as in the South and presents him as the guarantor of this union without which Egypt cannot prosper. It seems that Menes is at the origin of the first unification at the end of the fourth millennium before our era.
The Atef is the crown worn by the god Harsaphes and sometimes by Osiris, as well as by Pharaoh during certain rituals.
It is the attribute of the mythical bird Bénou, representing the soul of Re.
It consists of a central miter with vertical colored stripes, surmounted by a disc and flanked by two ostrich feathers. A sun disk is at the base and in the center of the miter, and two horizontal ram's horns are often added.
Hemm

The Hemhem crown is one of the ritual crowns of ancient Egypt. It is formed of three Atef crowns (Hedjet crown surmounted by two ostrich feathers and sometimes a sun disk) which surmount ram's horns. Depending on the context, the horn is the solar symbol (Amon), creator of life (Khnoum), or lunar (Iâh).
This crown is usually worn by the god Mandoulis. It is a divine crown and it is rarely worn by the pharaoh
Khepresh

The khepresh is one of the attributes of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
It is a blue (sometimes black1) victory crown in the shape of a bulb often studded with yellow (or white) polka dots. It appears at the end of the Second Intermediate Period and has long been likened to a war helmet (blue would then be the color of iron). In fact, it is more likely a ceremonial crown symbolizing triumph2. Perhaps the pharaohs wore it when returning victorious from a military campaign or perhaps it only had a symbolic value (that of the rebirth of the pharaoh during his coronation). It is thought that the khepresh may have been made of leather or fabric and decorated with gold discs (the yellow dots), or metal.
