An ancient Egyptian scarab with hieroglyphic inscriptions.
The image depicts a scarab amulet, which is oval-shaped and features carved hieroglyphs on its surface. The artifact appears to be made of stone, possibly steatite, and is relatively small in size, as indicated by the scale measurements visible. The inscriptions are centrally positioned and consist of a few hieroglyphic symbols, which are typical of scarabs used in personal adornment or as seal impressions during various Egyptian periods.
