Hats as an indicator of social status: a foreman (with horse) wears a hat of greater height than the accompanying inquilino (19th-century Chile). Ancient Mesopotamians often wore conical hats or ones shaped somewhat like an inverted vase. Many upper-class Egyptians shaved their heads, then covered it in a headdress intended to help them keep cool. Hats were commonly worn in ancient Egypt. One of the first pictorial depictions of a hat appears in a tomb painting from Thebes, Egypt, which shows a man wearing a conical straw hat, dated to around 3200 BC. He was found wearing a bearskin cap with a chin strap, made of several hides stitched together, essentially resembling a Russian fur hat without the flaps. One of the earliest known confirmed hats was worn by a Bronze Age man (nicknamed Г–tzi) whose body (including his hat) was found frozen in a mountain between Austria and Italy, where he had been since around 3250 BC. The 27,000-to-30,000-year-old Venus of Willendorf figurine may depict a woman wearing a woven hat. While there are not many official records of hats before 3,000 BC, they probably were commonplace before that. The 27,000-to-30,000-year-old Venus of Willendorf may depict a woman wearing a woven hat. Some hats have religious functions, such as the mitres worn by Bishops and the turban worn by Sikhs. Some hats are worn by members of a certain profession, such as the Toque worn by chefs. Some hats are worn for ceremonial purposes, such as the mortarboard, which is worn (or carried) during university graduation ceremonies. As examples, the hard hat protects construction workers' heads from injury by falling objects, a British police Custodian helmet protects the officer's head, a sun hat shades the face and shoulders from the sun, a cowboy hat protects against sun and rain and an ushanka fur hat with fold-down earflaps keeps the head and ears warm. Police typically wear distinctive hats such as peaked caps or brimmed hats, such as those worn by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
