An oval Egyptian scarab/seal-type object with an incised hieroglyphic design filled in green/black pigment on a glazed surface.

The image shows a small oval/rounded artifact photographed against a plain background. The surface appears coated with a green glaze, with darker (black/brown) incised lines forming an emblem-like design. Within the central field there is a rectangular/arched motif and several vertical strokes that resemble hieroglyphic signs, but the exact sign forms are not clear enough to confidently read. No clearly defined animal head (e.g., a leopard head) is visibly resolved from this view; the central glyph-like composition dominates the face. The rim shows a thin, lighter band suggesting fired/painted edge or glaze pooling. No additional inscriptions in other scripts (Greek/Coptic/Arabic) are visible. No cartouche/clear throne-name enclosure is legible at this resolution.
