Uraeus

Worn under the mane and in front of the ears and over the forelock pressing it flat.

Notes

"The rearing cobra, or Uraeus (yooo-ray-us) was the representation of the goddess Wadjet, protectress of the crown of Egypt and the king's body as a god. It was only ever worn by Pharaohs, with the exception of a very few and particularly honored queens. The uraeus, when found on a coffin, indicates royal contents except in the period in which Egypt was under Roman rule after the death of Cleopatra, when generalized Egyptian motifs were adopted indiscriminately by a ruling elite who didn't understand their symbolism. The cobra, raised to spit fire at the king's enemies, was an integral part of royal regalia, and was always depicted in gold, as this was believed to represent the flesh of the gods with their bones being silver." - Beverley C.
