Slate palettes are an important object category for the material culture in Egypt during the sixth to third millennia bce . Made of a range of different stones, they are found in both tombs and settlements. They were likely to have been used to mix pigment for the ritual adornment of the body. Bigger ceremonial objects might have played a role as image‐carriers and ex‐voti in early temples.
