The Bull Palette is an ancient Egyptian palette in the corpus of iconographic cosmetic palettes that focus on topics from the Late Predynastic Period, ca late 4th millennium BC. Some of the various palettes in the corpus, Narmer Palette, Libyan Palette, Hunters Palette, Min Palette, etc. contain forerunner iconography, or actual hieroglyphs of the Egyptian hieroglyph language. The reverse of the Bull Palette has iconography that became hieroglyphs for the: ''clenched fist'',〔Wilkinson, ''Reading Egyptian Art'', Clenched Hand, pp 54-55.〕 5 standards〔(Wikimedia Commons: "iat-Standard" )〕 surmounted by animals, being represented by two hippopotamuses, the "Sacred Ibis", the Horus-Falcon, and ''the thuderbolt of Min–symbol''. The fortified city on the palette's front is identified in its interior with a "larger-lion-and-'Nu'-(vessel)"– ==The palette== The Bull Palette-(remainder piece), about is made of mudstone or schist, and is etched in more atypical medium, to medium-low relief. A presumed 'fortified city' on the front in the upper register has a major loss of the city-rectangle on upper left showing this medium-level bas relief. The register below appears to be a smaller area of the palette, and has the remains, (about 1/4), of a second fortified city; a bird is one identifier in the city-fortified interior, with the rest missing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bull Palette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
