Small rectangular palette for cosmetics carved from a ferruginous sandstone. One surface was used to grind black cosmetic paints (galena?) while the other was used to grind red ochre. These objects are frequently found in all Kerma periods and are generally placed in a pouch that contains cosmetic paints, like here.

Petite palette à fard rectangulaire taillée dans une plaquette de grès ferrugineux. Une face est utilisée pour broyer du fard noir (galène?), l'autre de l'ocre, ici de l'ocre rouge. Cet objet est fréquent dans toutes les phases Kerma et le plus souvent disposé dans un sachet qui renferme les fards comme ici.
