The Manshiyat Ezzat Palette is an ornately adorned schist cosmetic palette from predynastic Egypt found at a cemetery in the eastern Delta town of Manshiyat Ezzat, Dakahlia Governorate.
(see diagram and photo: [1][2] graphic: [2]) The ornamental palette contains the cosmetic eyepaint mixing circle, with the circle made up of the necks of two confronted lions; the lions are identical to the serpopard-lion motif as found on the Narmer Palette and is conjectured to refer to the uniting of Delta Egypt with Southern Egypt.
Animals adorn the bottom center and left, with the gazelle being chased.
The center 1/3 of the ceremonial cosmetic palette consists of the motif of the eye paint mixing circle, and the circle is made-up of the two necks of confronted lions.
Further artifacts from Pharaoh Den's reign may elucidate this time period of the 1st Dynasty.
