This is an amulet of the White Crown of Upper Egypt.

This object is from Egypt but the exact location is unknown.

The pharaohs of ancient Egypt had several crowns and headdresses, each with their own symbolism. The White Crown, hedjet, represented Upper Egypt. Only the pharaoh could wear a royal crown, but over time, royal symbolism was used by ordinary people. This amulet in the shape of the White Crown would have given royal protection or privileges to the dead in the Afterlife.
