Descripción : Ancient Egypt, Pre-Dynastic Period, late Naqada II to early Naqada III, ca. 3500 to 3100 BCE. A fabulous palette-shaped blade, formed from a slab of pale-green slate with russet inclusions, with a narrow butt end drilled biconically with two small suspension holes. The curved blade edge has a lightly-rounded face and gently tapers towards a thick butt, and the surfaces are covered with light abrasions. Slate pieces like this were used for a number of different tasks in Predynastic Egypt, and the drilled holes on this example suggests it was utilized for either agrarian purposes or as a weapon mounted on the end of a lengthy pole.
