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 turquoise-blue glazed scarab-shaped object with a carved design on its face, showing a central figure/winged form and other small motifs; the backside is not visible.

The image shows an oval scarab with a rounded back and an engraved/sculpted face. The surface is covered in a glossy turquoise-blue glaze with areas of wear and flaking that expose underlying dark/gray material. On the face, there is a prominent central vertical element flanked by a pair of symmetrical shapes, resembling a human figure or deity standing between wing-like or plume-like forms. Additional smaller incised elements appear around the perimeter and near the lower field, but the individual hieroglyphs are not clearly legible at this resolution. No cartouche or explicit throne-name text is clearly readable. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible. The object appears consistent in general type with a scarab-inscribed item, but the specific Amenhotep III throne name cannot be confirmed from the visible engraving.
