The Global Egyptian Museum

Scarab with well-defined anatomical details: head, eyes, clypeus, prothorax and elytra, as well as crenellated legs.  A motif frequently found at the end of the Middle Kingdom is carved on the flat surface: the foreparts of lions, udjat-eyes, red crowns together with a few hieroglyphic signs, the neb-basket ("lord, all, every"), the sign wadj (''green'').  This scarab could have been used as a seal stamp, since impressions of this type have often been found, at Mirgissa/Iken among other places.

Scarabée aux détails anatomiques bien représentés, tête, yeux, clypeus, prothorax et élytres, ainsi que les pattes dentelées. Sur le plat est gravé un motif fréquent à la fin du Moyen Empire: des protomes de lions, des yeux-oudjat, des couronnes rouges, mêlés à quelques signes hiéroglyphiques, la corbeille-neb ("seigneur, tout, chaque"), le signe ouadj ("vert"). Ce scarabée a pu servir de sceau car des empreintes de même type ont souvent été découvertes, dont à Mirgissa/Iken même.
