Egyptian Narmer Pallete Wall Hanging - Double-Sided - Made in Egypt

This hand molded plaque was made in Luxor, Egypt! The original Narmer Pallete (last photo) is now located in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Narmer, was the first king of the First Dynasty of Egypt and the Narmer Palette was most likely created to celebrate his military victories over Lower Egypt. This wall artwork was created to replicate this ancient relic. The wall hanging is double sided with different designs on each side. The plaque is 8.5 inches tall with a hanger on the top. Your order will ship in a box with hieroglyphic symbols with an information card.    The Narmer Palette (also known as Narmer's Victory Palette and the Great Hierakonpolis Palette) is an Egyptian ceremonial engraving, a little over two feet tall and shaped like a chevron shield, depicting the First Dynasty king Narmer conquering his enemies and uniting Upper and 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 and the approval of the gods at the unification of Egypt.
