EspañolNEMES
:''See Nemes (DJ) for the DJ called Nemes, and Carlos Nemer (aka Neme).''
The 'nemes' was the striped headcloth worn by pharaohs in ancient Egypt.[1] It covered the whole crown and back of the head and nape of the neck (sometimes also extending a little way down the back) and had two large flaps which hung down behind the ears and in front of both shoulders.[2] It was sometimes combined with the double crown,[3] as it is on the statues of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel.
The earliest depiction of the nemes is on the statue of Netjerikhet.[4]. It was worn throughout history by pharaohs resident in Egypt.[5]
