The 'Two-Dog Palette'
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The 'Two-Dog Palette'. Both sides of this palette are carved in low relief with scenes depicting the frenzy o an animal hunt. The imagery includes real animals, such as the pair of Cape hunting dogs that frame the top (from which the palette takes its name). They are shown alongside mythical creatures, including felines with long snaking necks that encircle the central depression. The reservoir for grinding paint shows no signs of use, suggesting that this was a ceremonial object. From the 'Main Deposit', Hierakonpolis, Late Prefynastic - Early Dynastic, about 3300-3100 BC. (Ashmolean) |
