A Khepresh? Yes, it's the "War Crown" an ancient poser freebie, probably no longer available...
Strictly speaking, that's the MALE v ersion of the war crown, a female eqyptian would wear the varient seen in the famous limestone bust of Nefertiri.

Thanks for the reply. As far as I know the Nefertiti cap crown, although similar in some respects, is probably not a war crown, and it seems to have been a type of hat worn by Nefertiti herself and pretty much no one else. Nefertiti is one of the few Egyptian queens shown in a somewhat warlike context, actually, since there is an Amarna image (actually an image within an image being a decoration on a carved boat) showing Nefertiti smiting a female captive, rather as kings were usually shown smiting male captives.
