Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.

Oval/“scarab” shaped greenish-blue glazed inscription on a dark outline, shown front-on against a plain background.

The image shows a small, compact oval form consistent with a scarab seal. The surface is greenish-blue with a mottled, glazed appearance and dark brown/black lines forming an inscription across the face. The layout appears to include a rectangular cartouche-like framing element and surrounding vertical strokes, but the exact hieroglyphic signs are not clear enough to reliably transcribe. No clearly identifiable deity figure is present; the main decorative element is the inscribed text. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No cartouche contents can be confidently read from the resolution provided, so the specific name “Amenhotep” cannot be confirmed visually.
