Image shows a small turquoise/green glazed scarab with a domed back and an incised underside or face featuring a central symbol and surrounding markings.
The artifact is shown photographed against a light background in two views: left side appears to be the scarab’s dorsal surface with longitudinal grooves and faint incised lines across the top; right side shows the ventral/inscribed side with a central standing figure-like motif and adjacent symbols arranged in a rectangular field. A circular element sits near the top of the right view. No clearly legible hieroglyph groups or cartouches are readable at this resolution. The object surface appears glazed and steatite-like with chips/wear on the dorsal view. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
