Palette Depicting a Pair of Mud Turtles. Dimensions: H. 15.3 x W. 16 x Th. 0.6 cm (6 x 6 5/16 x 1/4 in.). Date: ca. 3650-3500 B.C..The large mud turtle, Trionyx triunguis, which inhabited the Nile River and its canals, is the subject of many palettes and this one is quite unusual in depicting a pair. The duo may represent a mating pair linking the palette's imagery to the concept of fertility and therefore regeneration. In the Pharaonic Period, the turtle had a dual reputation, on one hand the animal was connected to chaos and disorder, and on the other, it could be a potent amulet when the turtle's negative character was used as a protective force. Given the turtle is the subject of an implement for manufacturing pigment for eye paint, a protective interpretation seems fitting. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
