A small oval scarab-like object shown against a neutral background, with incised decorative bands and dark, speckled areas on its surface.

The image depicts a single oval, domed object consistent with a scarab amulet. The surface has worn incised or impressed lines forming segmented bands across the top and down the sides. Two small darker, rounded motifs (possibly parts of engraved markings or inlays) appear near the center/front. No clearly legible hieroglyphs or cartouches are distinctly readable at this resolution. The object appears to be made of a brownish material with darker inclusions or residues, likely stone or ceramic, though the exact material cannot be confirmed from the photo. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The museum catalogue title is “scarab” and the pictured object overall matches that form; however, the specific inscriptions/insignia cannot be confidently identified.
