Description

This scaraboid is rather crudely fashioned and bears no inscription, but is covered with a navy blue enamel, a very rare colour.  It was placed along the humerus of an adult skeleton whose funerary equipment was comprised solely of scarabs.

Placé le long de l'humérus gauche d'un squelette d'un adulte sans autre mobilier que plusieurs scarabées, ce scaraboïde est très grossier et anépigraphe, mais il est recouvert d'un émail bleu marine, couleur rare.
