DescriptionScarab with dark brown head and beige elytra (where the registration number is written). But the detail of the elytra is not carved or worn. The reverse shows a group of signs in a symmetric disposition from the center to the edge: one eye, two horizontal strokes, and a basket that matches the round edge of the scarab. A hole is pierced through the scarab, from its mouth to the bottom. It is one of a lot of 19 Egyptian scarabs of different periods.
