Oval Egyptian scarab seal with a molded central cartouche-like emblem and internal figural elements, coated in a blue-green glaze over a dark body.

The image shows a small, roughly oval scarab amulet viewed from above. A blue-green turquoise-colored glaze covers most of the surface, with darker brownish areas where the glaze is worn or absent. Within the scarab’s central field there appears a rectangular frame containing multiple schematic strokes and rounded shapes that resemble hieroglyphic or cartouche-like detailing, though the individual signs are not sufficiently clear to identify specific characters or a definite royal name. No clear divinities are visible as standalone figures; the motif reads primarily as inscriptional or emblematic. The edges show a mottled, weathered glaze consistent with age and abrasion.
