Pharaonic uses

Lunette iconography, 3 uses of basket: center two columns, as Lord of Heaven, left for god Amun, Lord of the Two Lands, and 3rd use on right.

The pharaoh is often shown in reliefs or in cartouche-related statements as Lord of the Two Lands. The basket hieroglyph is used as 'lord', or 'king'. Queens, or goddesses use the 'lordess' form, the feminine implied from the "t" hieroglyph but not needed for the basket. The basket is used for either.
