Gods like Heka,[3] Isis,[4] and Osiris also appeared with the hemhem crown, and during the Greco-Roman period, solar deities were also depicted wearing it in some temples.

[5] Later the hemhem crown was shown on the images of non-Egyptian rulers, such as Nubians Natakamani, Arnekhamani or Silko of Nobadia.

[2] This evidence indicates that the hemhem crown had passed into Iranian iconography, likely through an intermediary as opposed to directly from Egyptian sources, this being usually identified as North Syrian or Phoenician art[7] where it was commonly associated with divine beings.

[10] An early appearance of the hemhem crown was during the reign of Akhenaten as seen in a relief from his tomb at Amarna.

[3] Tutankhamun was depicted wearing the hemhem crown on the inlay of a throne found in his tomb.

[11] The crown was eventually transplanted into Syrian and Iran contexts, where it underwent further adaptations in light of the political needs of the time.
