Min Palette

The Min Palette, or El Amrah Palette is an Predynastic Egyptian cosmetic palette from El-Amrah, Egypt (for the Amratian Period), found in Naqada, tomb B62. It is held in the British Museum, no. 35501.

The Min Palette is a flat slate palette, unadorned, with no iconographic scenes.

Two topics are displayed on the palette. The Symbol of Min, a compound-type hieroglyph arrangement, is centered at the top of the palette, and comprises 1/4 of the palette's front. The other motifs are opposed-facing bird heads on each top corner; the heads are small, with a thin neck, about a tenth the height of the palette, and the right head is damaged.

A small suspension hole is centered on the palette's top.
