Detailed description

Sculpture "Egyptian Palette in the Shape of a Fish", bronze

To grind and apply their ingredients for facial or body cosmetics, the Ancient Egyptians used round or rectangular cosmetic pallets made of slate. The shapes evolved and became more sophisticated around the protohistoric period, culminating in shield-shaped pallets. In the 4th millennium BC, they seem to have acquired a different function and were transformed into ornamental and commemorative objects.
Original: Slate, Egypt, c. 3500 BC, Musée du Louvre, Paris.
