Gardiner, Inscriptions of Sinai, Part I

MUSHROOM HAIRDO. This drawing of a hieroglyphic stela inscription shows a procession of Egyptian officials, of whom the Canaanite Khebeded (shown last in line, at left) is depicted with the typical mushroom-shaped headdress sported by “Asiatic” men. This mushroom hairdo confirms Khebeded’s identity as a proud Canaanite.
