Color palette
Description
It is easy to tell from the traces in the receptacles that this palette was used to dilute red ochre and lamp black. The hole, at one side, is either for suspension or to tie together, as shown in the hieroglyphic sign Sesh, the palette with a cylindrical holder (for reed pens) and a circular lather bag for pigment pellets. The scribe carried the tied equipment either in his hand or on his shoulder.
