A green glazed Egyptian scarab-shaped amulet bearing an incised inscription and decorative motif on its face.

The image shows a small, oval scarab/inscribed bezel-like object with a glossy green glaze over what appears to be steatite. The top face contains an incised design: a winged or stylized element in black with red accents, flanked by hieroglyphic signs rendered in black. The central motif resembles a seated or reclining figure/symbolic form associated with royal or protective texts, but the exact reading is unclear at this resolution. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The surrounding rim is slightly irregular, consistent with a small carved and glazed artifact. The object is photographed against a plain light background, with no visible breakage beyond minor glaze wear.
