If you look closely at the sides of his head, you can see straps of some kind... maybe to hold up that colossal thing. If it is his hair, then how would it stay up? I doubt hair gel was around in those days, at least in the kind of strength this fellow would need. (99.245.138.157 (talk) 05:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC))

It's not hair, but a type of crown or hat associated with nobles, especially in East Asia. Similar official headwears can be found in ancient China.--141.213.196.173 (talk) 05:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
