The art work is located at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Each side of the artwork symbolizes different things and tasks that was accomplished by King Narmar.
The Egyptians were required by canon law to use dimensions and scales. They are very specific in measurements. They are painted on grids of squares. It was considered
the set of standard proportions. All images and pieces of artwork had to showcase the dimension. Beginning at hairline and ending at the sole of the foot the measurement should be 18 equal parts. The waistline had to be 11 equal parts. The figures was showcased by a uniform, long-legged, high waisted appearance of an Egyptian figure. The Third Dynasty and Sixth Dynasty are some examples.
