The Narmer Palette (also known as Narmer's Victory Palette & the Great Hierakonpolis Palette) is an Egyptian ceremonial engraving, a little over two feet tall & shaped like a chevron shield, depicting the First Dynasty king Narmer conquering his enemies & uniting Upper & Lower Egypt. The palette is carved of a single piece of siltstone, commonly used for ceremonial tablets in the First Dynastic Period of Egypt. The fact that the palette is carved on both sides means that it was created for ceremonial instead of practical purposes. Palettes which were made for daily use were only decorated on one side. The Narmer Palette is intricately carved to tell the story of King Narmer's victory in battle & the approval of the gods at the unification of Egypt.
