The Global Egyptian Museum

Non-enamelled scarab found beside the deceased's right forearm, placed like a bracelet. The anatomical details are succinctly depicted: head, clypeus, prothorax suggested by two lateral incisions and the  legs by a horizontal circle.  On the back, two crenellated lines represent the elytra.  The rings of a dummy setting are carved in the stone at both extremities. The flat surface is deeply incised with prophylactic symbols and a floral motif.  This scarab was never used as a seal.

Scarabée non émaillé trouvé le long de l'avant bras droit du corps d'un adulte, donc placé en bracelet. Les détails anatomiques sont représentés sommairement: tête, clypeus, prothorax par deux incisions latérales, pattes par un cercle horizontal. Sur le dos, deux lignes croisées dentellées figurent les élytres. Les anneaux d'une monture factices sont gravés dans la pierre aux deux extrémités. Le plat est incisé profondément de signes prophylactiques et d'un motif floral. Ce scarabée n'a jamais été utilisé comme sceau.
