The red looped sash: an enigmatic element of royal regalia in ancient Egypt–part 1
Is the red looped sash worn at the king’s waist simply an elaborate tie used to hold up the royal kilt, or does it have an inherent significance? If it did carry meaning, what made it appropriate for particular contexts but not for others? The Art of Counting Team believes that it does have meaning, and has the data to back it up. This is the first of four articles that will explore the red looped sash.
Due to the length and complexity of this discussion, this information will presented as multiple posts. We will begin with a brief examination of the general use of sashes in ancient Egypt, the significance suggested by some previous research on the looped sash, and the appearances of this regalia element in royal Ramesside tombs. The second post will focus on the significance of the color red in Ancient Egypt, the third installment will explore the meaning of the looped sash as royal regalia, and the final article will examine the appearances of the looped sash at Medinet Habu and outline what those appearances reveal about its usage.
This prominent attribute of royal regalia first caught my attention several years ago in the temple of Seti I at Abydos where it occurs at least 15 times, often as part of some especially elaborate royal costumes.

The red looped sash: an enigmatic element of royal regalia in ancient Egypt-part 2
Why was the looped sash worn at the king’s waist almost always painted red? What significance does this color hold and what message does it convey as a prominent regalia element? In the first post on the red looped sash, we discussed the use of sashes in general, outlined previous scholarship on the regalia element, and pointed out the occurrences of the looped sash in Ramesside royal tombs. That post noted that flowing sashes were connected to divine insignia and appear to have been related to the ankh, an important symbol of revivification. In this second installment of our examination of the looped sash, the focus is a general examination of the color red in ancient Egypt. Although it may seem a digression, it is important to this four-part discussion of the range of meanings inherent in the physical appearance of the looped sash that an investigation of its color be carried out.
Colors had great meaning and carried magical significance (see G. Pinch in Colour and Painting in Ancient Egypt). Red was an especially potent color–it was connected to the wild desert, primeval powers of creation, blood and violence, and certain aspects of the solar cycle. When depicted in color, the looped sash is almost invariably red, although I have found two blue examples so far.
Ramses III in QV44 wearing a blue looped sash:
Red (desher) is a highly ambivalent color throughout Egyptian history. The color was associated with the deserts, and deshret (the ‘red lands’) stood in balance against kemet, the black land (i.e. the fertile Nile Valley). Through its relationship with the uncontrolled hinterlands, red was connected to virulent and chaotic powers, such as the raging of Seth and the monstrous snake Apophis, but red is also closely linked with the sun and represented the stalwart protection granted by the Eyes of Re who guarded the sun god on his journey.
