It’s probably a female hairstyle that goes back to the most ancient times, because it’s so logical.
I’m not aware of any depictions of it in ancient art - but art back then was so formal, rigid and prescriptive, that there may not be any examples.
But long-haired women (which most women were, back then) always have a natural habit of twisting and ‘putting up’ their hair - if only to get it out of the way of the corn they’re grinding, the baby they’re suckling, etc. :-)
