The Palette of King Narmer commemorates the victories of Narmer as the first Egyptian Pharaoh who unified Upper and Lower Egypt into one empire. Symbolizing the unification of Egypt, King Narmer wears the crown of Upper Egypt while Horus as a falcon holds a prisoner by a rope which grows from the same soil as papyrus (symbol of Lower Egypt). The events commemorated here, led to the unification of the country, the beginnings of official hieroglyphic writing and divine representations, and therefore render this palette one of the most famous and important pieces in Egyptian art. Each side has a different image, as does the original.
