I don't think men can wear it. According to http://www.artyfactory.com/egyptian_art/egyptian_crowns/egyptian_crown_8.htm, vulture goddess was also known as the goddess of childbirth, mothers and children.

The crook and the flail are symbols of Egyptian royalty. The herdsman's crook demonstrates the king's ability to guide his people and the agricultural flail shows he can provide his subjects with food

My mistake. To clarify: the falcon symbolised Southern or "Upper" Egypt. The snake represented Northern or "Lower" Egypt

Am I right?
You said; Upper Egypt/South = Cobra and Lower Egypt/North = vulture

I guess, it should be opposite.

Cobra symbolizes delta of Nile so Lower Egypt is Cobra  (Wadjet)
Vulture is a desert animal, Upper Egypt                       (Nekhbet)

Vulture
In Egyptian mythology, Nekhbet (also spelt Nechbet, and Nekhebit) was an early predynastic local goddess who was the patron of the city of Nekheb, her name meaning of Nekheb. Ultimately, she became the patron of Upper Egypt

Cobra
Wadjet was claimed as the patron goddess and protector of the whole of Lower Egypt

Egyptian pharaohs had several distinct crowns. The first of these, the Nemes Headdress, was worn everyday and comprised a striped headscarf and a circlet bearing the vulture and serpent of Upper and Lower Egypt.

Thanks Blue Hue - Good Stuff - I don't always have the time to go digging - and with art history you really have to know where to start before you can dig at all. Without correct provenance  - assumptions are very dangerous.

Also good to kinow that the first image is a rendering after one done during the Champollion expeditions - I was assuming that it was a modern rendering based on imagination

In the time of your life, live - so that in that wonderous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it. (Saroyan)
