Hieroglyphs & the first Cosmetic palettes
User_talk:Dbachmann has just made this into quite a nice article... I assume its importance should be at least MID, if not higher. (MID and START)

The corpus of cosmetic palettes includes 5 to 15-(of 70+-?) with hieroglyph, scenes, or elements. One nearly complete "non-standard" palette, (many are not typical) is shaped between two arms, represented by the Ka-(Egyptian soul, and Article, Ka statue),  Shortly after Naqada III, the Mummy labels or Grave goods-labels, some made of ebony or ivory, showed the "arms with the feather" in between. (King Den (Pharaoh))

I assume, the interesting period that precedes all of the Naqadas, I, II, III is when the rhomboidal palettes evolved into the different form, or being a "standardized" cosmetic palette & with the appearance of hieroglyph usage.Mmcannis (talk) 16:35, 7 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The Scorpion and Narmer palettes in particular and a long list of other palettes, maceheads, ivory labels, ostracons, and instances of recognizable glyphs include three glyphs which reference the [Earth god Aker] Double headed lions or lions facing in two different directions; tri flowered plants such as M8, M15,and  M16, a humanoid figure attached across a register to a tri flowered plant, the personified   M8 glyph, with Horus using the k3 priests tool   U20, of opening the ways on a man's head coming up out of the inundated field, and the subject of the Narmer pose on the face of the Narmer palette below the personified M8 glyph labeled   "<nt" nail, claw, the OK form of U19, "nwh" rope as held by Horus over the nose of personified M8 glyph above   poool "h<pyw" innundations, where signs  N39, referenced to N36-N39 appear to be related as a sign for irrigated land in Dynasty III. In  N38, "st3t" aroura. The use of  N36, both as a channel of the Nile and in its use as the early form of  N23 as an irrigation canal
