In the context of Bull Palette, explain the Reverse of the The palette.
The reverse (back) of the palette has the same bull overpowering a warrior motif.
A rope appears to encircle, or is at least part of the entire reverse, as one of the reverse motifs. The remaining piece-(of this broken cosmetic palette) has possibly one of the more important motifs preserved in the palettes corpus. Five standards are shown collectively on the right of the palette, and each is an iat standard (hieroglyph), but notably the base of each standard transforms into a 'clenched hand', which embraces the large-diameter rope encircling the reverse side.
The five standards are:A hippopotamus with open mouth
A hippopotamus with open mouth
The "Sacred Ibis"
The standing Horus-Falcon
Symbol: "Thunderbolt of Min"-(an encircled snake on standard?)
The palette's reverse contains only two clues to suggest the entire scene on that side of the broken palette. The encircling rope has the bull, a defeated warrior, (and another presumed pair on left), and two other body parts of warriors. Open space (field?) covers space as large, or larger than the two warrior portions. A warrior's leg is shown and is partially fractured-out (chipped), from the bas relief-(the knee portion); adjacent and below the leg, is a perfectly preserved warrior head, with eye, ear, beard, necklace cord, and a "stylized hairdo"-(close cropped).
