A. The Palette of Narmer is an example of power art - This statement is not true.

Explanation: The Narmer Palette is truly unique, valuable, and utterly irreplaceable, so it has never been permitted to leave the country.

The palettes were generally flat, simply decorated stone objects. It is used for grinding and mixing minerals for cosmetics.

In 1898, The Palette of Narmer was discovered by James Quibell and Frederick Green. It had been used for ceremonial purposes and then ritually buried within the temple at Hierakonpolis.

It is carved from slate (grayish/green siltstone) and is found in the temple of horas. It is found in Predynastic Egypt. c. 3000-2920 B. C. E. Greywacke. It is an incredible example of early Egyptian art.
