Last year, a New York artist drew a digital portrait depicting Obama in a gold and green Egyptian headdress. Last week, it showed up as a mural in Chicago.

The Egyptian headpiece, in the style of a long bob and featured gold-coloured beads and coils woven into it, is one of the most famous wigs in movie history.

The next was a coiffure resembling a melon, and the third was the regal Cleopatra in her royal Egyptian headdress, complete with a rearing cobra made of precious metal.
