Description
Finely carved, small blue-glazed steatite scarab, bearing on the underside the image of a broad collar, below the hieroglyphic writing of the name of Amun-Re. From the Middle Kingdom onwards, scarabs commonly served as amulets, often with the name of a god and among these the most popular was that of Amun, meaning 'the hidden one'. The quality of this miniature suggests a date in the 18th Dynasty.

Zorgvuldig gesneden kleine blauwgeglazuurde steatieten scarabee met op de onderkant de afbeelding van een brede halskraag, onder de hiëroglifische spelling van de naam Amon-Re. Vanaf het Middenrijk dienden scarabeeën algemeen als amuletten, vaak met de naam van een god en onder deze was die van Amon, hetgeen 'de verborgene' betekent, de meest populaire. De kwaliteit van dit miniatuur suggereert een datering in de achttiende dynastie.
Petit scarabée en stéatite émaillée bleue, finement sculpté, portant, sur la face inférieure, l'image d'un large collier, sous le nom d'Amon-Rê en écriture hiéroglyphique. Depuis le Moyen Empire, les scarabées servaient habituellement d'amulettes, souvent avec le nom d'un dieu, le plus populaire étant Amon, 'le caché'. La miniature, de haute qualité, peut être datée de la XVIIIème Dynastie.
Fein geschnittener kleiner, blauglasierter Steatitskarabäus, der auf der Unterseite das Bild eines breiten Kragens unter den Hieroglyphen des Namens Amun-Re trägt. Vom Mittleren Reich an dienten Skarabäen gewöhnlich als Amulette, häufig mit dem Namen eines Gottes, und unter diesen war der beliebteste der des Amun, der 'der Verborgene' bedeutet. Die Qualität dieser Miniaturausführung weist auf eine Datierung in die 18. Dynastie.

Pequeño escarabeo de esteatita vidriada de azul, delicadamente tallado que, en la parte de abajo, lleva una imagen de un amplio collar debajo del jeroglífico con el nombre de Amón-Re.
