The Oxford Palette, also known as the Two Dog Palette or the Minor Hierakonpolis Dogs Palette, is an Ancient Egyptian cosmetic palette discovered in Hierakonpolis. It is part of the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, United Kingdom.[1]

The Palette was discovered by British archeologists James E. Quibell and Frederick W. Green, in what they called the Main Deposit in the Temple of Horus at Hierakonpolis, during the dig season of 1897–98.
