Oval scarab seal with a central seated/standing throne-name cartouche-like form and radiating/foliate decoration, shown on a dark golden-brown surface.

The image shows a small, oval scarab-shaped inscribed object photographed against a light background. The dorsal face is filled with incised decoration and a central, cartouche-like panel: a vertical form resembling a throne symbol above a rectangular/rounded cartouche frame, with two looped elements on either side, suggesting an encircling inscription area. The incisions are shallow and the overall surface appears polished with a golden-brown glaze or encrustation. No clear figurative deity scene is visible; the main emphasis is the royal titulary-style engraving. The underside, head, legs, and suspension details are not visible in this view. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present. Hieroglyphic carving is present in the form of a royal throne-name cartouche, though the exact signs are not clear enough to quote precisely from this image.
