TWO EGYPTIAN OR LATER STONE FISH-SHAPED PALETTE AMULETS Stone palettes were used as surfaces on which to grind green or black pigments into powder. After adding a gum-like adhesive to the powder, the mixture was applied as eye makeup. This palette represents a tilapia fish, which lived in the Nile and was emblematic of fertility. The Egyptians also ate tilapia, and it is still a popular dish today. Length of largest: 11.5cm
