A small oval Egyptian scarab amulet inscribed in a cartouche-like frame with hieroglyphic text on the underside.

The image shows the ventral (underside) of a scarab: an oval, low-relief scarab form with a recessed field containing dark and greenish-blue pigment traces. Within a bordered register, the incised hieroglyphs appear arranged in a compact horizontal sequence, though the individual signs are not clear enough to confidently transcribe. No readable royal cartouche is clearly legible at this resolution. The object surface is worn, with chips and discoloration around the edges. No figure of a deity is clearly identifiable; the design is primarily text-based. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text.
