Obverse of the Narmer Palette

The palette commemorates the victories of king Narmer identified as king Menes, the unifier of the two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt.

The upper section depicts the king wearing the ‘Deshret’ or Red Crown of Lower Egypt, followed by his sandals bearer and preceded by his vizier and four standard bearers. Next comes a scene depicting the corpses of 10 beheaded enemies.

In the middle section, there are two soldiers holding two felines with extremely long necks representing the people of the North and South under the control of the king and his army. The lower section shows a bull, representing the king attacking the walls of a northern city.

The Narmer Palette was discovered at the Hierakonpolis excavation site in 1897-98 by British archaeologist James Quibell, along with Frederick W. Green. It was discovered at the Temple of Horus in the ancient capital of the Upper Kingdom, Hierakonpolis. The palette was found along with the Narmer Macehead, another artifact which shows the completion of the conquest of the Lower Kingdom. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 32169
