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.

A small, rounded scarab-shaped object made of reddish-brown material, with worn incised markings that resemble a hieroglyphic inscription on the back.

The image shows a single scarab-like artifact photographed against a plain light background. The back surface is oval and convex, with pitted wear and a darkened, earthy patina. Incised lines and boxed/rectangular areas are visible near the center, along with a few isolated signs (one curved/loop-like form and another that may resemble a vertical stroke). The exact hieroglyphs are too abraded to confidently read; no clear cartouche borders or fully legible royal name is present. No legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. No distinct metallic or glassy elements are apparent; the surface appears ceramic-like or clay/terracotta-like. The specific deity Amun and the name Amunrehotep cannot be verified from the visible, worn marks.
