A small green-glazed scarab seal carved with a standing figure that appears to be holding a bow, within a crowded decorative field of incised details.
The image shows a single scarab-shaped/oval amulet with a convex face and a green turquoise glaze. The surface is filled with incised, darkened lines forming a dynamic scene: a human figure with a bow-like implement is depicted at the center-right, with additional abstracted elements around (possibly parts of a chariot/archery context, attendants, or background motifs). No clear cartouche or full royal titulary is legible at this resolution. The iconography is consistent with an Old/New Kingdom-style royal/archery depiction, but the specific identification as Seti II in a chariot is not fully verifiable from the visible details.
