The khat was a head cloth worn in Ancient Egypt. It was similar to the nemes headdress, but did not have pleats or stripes like the nemes did.
The khat was worn by laborers while doing tasks such as winnowing grain. It was also worn by the king and by certain deities. It is strongly connected to the goddesses Isis, Nephthys, and Nut.
