Problem
Reflect on what you learned about the conventions and iconography of royal representation in Mesopotamian and Egyptian art. In particular, compare and contrast Victory Stele of Naram Sin (Mesopotamia) and Palette of Narmer(Egypt) as examples of royal representation.
Consider the following questions to guide you in your comparison. .
1. How are they similar? How are they different?
2. What is the function (purpose) of each of these objects?
3. How might the size and material of each object influence the meaning of each object?
4. What was the viewing context of these objects? In other words, where, how, and by whom would these artworks have been seen?
