Hedjet ḥḏt in hieroglyphs

Hedjet (Ancient Egyptian: 𓌉𓏏𓋑, romanized: ḥuḏat, lit. 'White One') is the White Crown of pharaonic Upper Egypt. After the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, it was combined with the Deshret, the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, to form the Pschent, the double crown of Egypt. The symbol sometimes used for the White Crown was the vulture goddess Nekhbet shown next to the head of the cobra goddess Wadjet, the uraeus on the Pschent.^[1]
