A small oval scarab seal with a glazed steatite surface, bearing an incised cartouche-like royal name and associated hieroglyphic figures on the top.

The image shows an oval scarab-inscribed object photographed against a plain light background. The surface is mostly greenish with visible wear and brownish areas consistent with an older glaze or weathering. On the scarab’s face, an incised central rectangular cartouche-like panel contains hieroglyphic strokes/marks, surrounded by additional smaller hieroglyphs or decorative elements along the left and right sides. The inscription is the primary identifiable feature; no other legible modern text is visible. No clear deities are identifiable from the provided image resolution, but the central hieroglyphic arrangement is consistent with a royal name inscription typical of scarabs. The object appears intact but somewhat abraded, especially along edges.
