作为三角洲南部土地上埃及的统治者,法老戴着因其颜色而被称为白色王冠的头饰。 它被称为 hedjet,意为“白色之物”,但也被称为 wrt(weret),意为“伟大之物”,呈高大的圆锥形,顶部呈球状,可能由上浆的亚麻布或白色皮革制成,外覆柳条框架。它的白色非常重要且不变,但奇怪的是,所有这种形状的护身符无一例外都是绿色的,无论是釉面还是玻璃。 尽管它是两顶王冠中较早出现的一顶,但在赛特时期之前,尚未发现过这种形状的单个护身符,而当时的护身符一般呈圆形(甚至耳罩都经过精心设计),后部带有悬挂环,如下例所示。 只有国王和某些神灵才会戴白色王冠,因此当将其形状的护身符放在平民木乃伊身上时,会赋予他与法老或另一个世界的神相同的权力和权威光环。
