蛇的头抬起，身体向后拱起至相同的高度，盘绕成五个圈，顶部有一个悬挂环。
背景：从最早的王朝开始，直立的眼镜蛇，即蛇神，就是皇室的象征，佩戴在法老的额头上，象征着他的王权和神性。作为女神，她是太阳的眼睛，向国王的敌人喷射火焰。蛇神是麦格雷戈纸莎草书和丹德拉的奥西里斯建筑群中所描绘的护身符之一。通常，木乃伊身上会佩戴不止一个，有时在额头甚至脚上，但最常见的是放在躯干上。蛇神作为护身符旨在为非皇室死者提供通常为皇室保留的保护，但由于其皮肤脱落，也象征着复活，从第二十六王朝开始，蛇神有两种基本形式。两种形式中，完全蓬松的兜帽都经过精心设计；在较常见的类型中，身体的一大圈向后拱起，与头部高度相同（就像我们的护身符一样），顶部有一个悬挂环。在另一种形式中，只有尾巴的尖端出现在兜帽底部的一侧，兜帽靠在为悬挂而穿孔的后柱上。
