(from the info card)
"The rightful transmission of Egyptian kingship as reflected in the Heliopolitan creation myth is symbolized by the falcon god's headgear. It is the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt, an emblem of both the southern and northern portions of the country. Its presence here and on the figure of Atum in this case indicates the Egyptian belief that kingship began at the moment of creation."
