Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Small Egyptian scarab-shaped object with a carved design on the face, showing figures and/or hieroglyph-like elements within an oval/rounded outline.

The image shows a single, small, oval scarab (or scarab-impressed seal) photographed against a light background. The face has a recessed/relief design enclosed within a darker border. Central elements appear to include a standing human-like figure or symbol on the left and a winged or vertical composite motif on the right, but the exact iconography and any associated hieroglyphs are not sufficiently clear to identify specific royal names or formal inscriptions. No clearly legible cartouche text is visible at this resolution. The surface is dark brown to greenish-brown with mottling consistent with glazed steatite or weathered glaze; a bluish-green glaze cannot be confirmed precisely from the photo but the overall coloration is broadly compatible with a glazed object. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No standalone deities can be confidently identified from the unclear iconography.
