Dramatic difference of Side A, Side B
I was originally going to work on a "Nine Bows" article, and found instead, myself here, and trying to make a quick-and-dirty article, that is actually related to prisoners, captives, and the Gardiner's Sign List entry for the prisoner element-(and therefore the Nine Bows). (It has some other variations, that can be found in the Two Volume Budge, hieroglyphic dictionaries).

But after adding the third External link, and reading the "synoptic" of what the Battlefield Palette is all about....I want to say this: It seems the palette is about: War vs Peace, ....or Peace vs War.

The entire text corpus of the predynastic Egypt palettes is "Wonderful". I assume that the last palette was for Narmer, and "commissioned" by him or his buddies-(his club), but the extent of the Corpus of palettes is quite unbelievable. I have opened enuff books, and I refer to the "Min Palette". The description, simply: a Palette, no details, no central 'cosmetic' area, and a combination of two "hieroglyphs", referencing Min (?)(covering 1/6(?)of top front)-(Nothing on palette Reverse)(I see now the two bird ornaments on top)....Min Palette, etc

So my summary of what I am saying, is:.....I wonder who these fellas were who made these wonderfull Palettes, (the Corpus) and I assume some just  'individual'  "artisan" work, and direction was taken....(Kind of like Wikipedia: A collection, but with individual Excursions, as well)....(from the SonoranDesert, HotDry ArizonaUSA....)(I assume one can take an excursion on a Talk Page (in WikiPedia)?)...Mmcannis (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
