Description

The burial in which this hedgehog-scaraboid was found contained several other amulets, among which three other hedgehogs and two lions. The present one is very touching, with its two erect ears, triangular muzzle and the cross-cross pattern on its back. The flat side bears the so-called "Redi-Re" inscription, incomprehensible but well dated to the Second Intermediate Period.

La sépulture d'où provient ce scaraboïde-hérisson était très riche en amulettes dont trois autres hérissons et deux lions. Celui-ci est touchant par les deux petites oreilles dressées, le museau triangulaire et le dos quadrillé. Le plat porte une inscription dite "Redi-Rê", peu compréhensible, mais bien datée de la Deuxième Période Intermédiaire.
