Afnet Crown B (khat)

Another headdress closely connected with the nemes is the khat or afnet, which it appears to complement. These two kerchiefs generally appear together in the object friezes as well as on the pairs of royal wooden statues guarding the entrances to the burial chambers of several New Kingdom royal tombs. Remnants of the khat were found on the mummy of King Tut. Its dominant representation in funerary contexts has been interpreted to convey a particularly strong symbolism of rejuvenation, and it appears to represent the nocturnal side of the solar cycle, complementing the solar symbolism of the nemes. Like the latter, it is used in representations of the royal ka. *1 model (medium poly) with textures and materials.
