Green glazed scarab-shaped seal/pin with a recessed oval beetle form and an inscribed field on its back.
The image shows a small, oval scarab (back facing upward) rendered in a green-blue glazed surface with darker outlines. The scarab’s body is recessed, with a central circular motif on the upper portion and additional raised/recessed forms suggesting carved symbols within an oval cartouche-like border. The background around the scarab is plain white. No clear separate throne-name cartouche, legible hieroglyphic strings, or readable royal cartouche markings are distinguishable at this resolution; the interior markings appear abstract/partially obscured by glaze and wear. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible.
