An image of both sides of a small Egyptian glazed steatite scarab/seal-shaped object, shown front and back.

The object is oval/rounded and scarab-like, photographed against a plain background from two angles. The left view shows a greenish-blue glazed surface with incised paneling/grooves across the domed back, including a central cross-like arrangement dividing the back into sections. The right view shows the underside/face with a dark molded motif that includes a central raised shape with surrounding angular forms; a thin dark border runs around the edge. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, cartouches, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic inscriptions are visible in the provided resolution. The central motif could be decorative or represent an emblem, but the deity/name cannot be identified with certainty from the image alone.
