Green glazed scarab seal with a carved hieroglyphic inscription on the back (elytra), bordered by a rounded ring.

The image shows a small scarab-shaped object photographed from above. The back is filled with dark green/black incised hieroglyphs arranged in a roughly symmetrical layout, enclosed by a thick oval border. Central elements include a curved/diagonal form with a long line extending across the scarab and a prominent vertical element on the right resembling a staff-like sign. On the lower left and center there appear to be additional stacked or paired signs, though their exact reading is unclear at this resolution. No explicit depiction of a specific deity figure is visible—only hieroglyphs. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. The catalogue title claims the text is for the “Female Horus, Wosretkau,” but the specific determinative/name components that would confirm “Wosretkau” are not legible enough to verify from the provided image alone.
