Oval scarab-shaped amulet engraved on the bezel/underside with an animal figure or emblem and surrounding incised details, shown in a dark reddish-brown stone.

The image shows a single scarab amulet photographed against a light background. The object is oval and flat on one side, with a raised rounded perimeter. The central engraving includes a dark, stylized form resembling a seated/standing figure or emblem with radiating or hooked elements; around it are incised lines and short marks that could be parts of hieroglyphic text or decorative border elements. The surface appears glossy to semi-glossy with scattered speckling and minor wear; there are no clearly legible cartouches in the photograph. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The incisions are too unclear to confidently read the specific throne name of Thutmose II or to identify any deities. Materials visible suggest a dark reddish material consistent with a reddish-brown stone (catalogue: hematite).
