I can think of a number of organic helmets I don't see any reason why textile wouldn't be possible, but I think the images are largely what people expect to see..
"The almost complete disappearance of the formulae of ancient
Egyptian art in these stuffs seems at first hard to explain. But
some idea of the extent to which Greek life had penetrated into
Egypt before the advent of the Romans may be gained from the
brief historical summary already given. For three centuries before
Egypt submitted to Alexander the Great, Greek merchants had
found their way far into the interior, and flourishing Greek settlements had been established. Alexandria, founded by the conqueror, soon became the greatest city of the Eastern Mediterranean region. Other cities, where wealthy Greek merchants resided,
received Greek names, and Greek culture and taste spread among
the native population. For another three centuries after Alexander, Egypt was ruled by a dynasty of Greek origin, and the advent of the Romans did little to interfere with Greek life and art as established in the country."

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
