Glazed green-blue steatite scarab with an incised design filling the face, bordered by a raised edge.

The image shows a small, oval scarab (scaraboid) viewed from the front. The surface is green to blue-green with a glossy glaze and darkened incisions forming a central motif. The central field contains an arrangement of incised lines and blocks that resembles Egyptian hieroglyphic epigraphy (exact signs not fully legible at this resolution). A raised circular/oval border frames the face, and there appears to be a small, darker feature near the top above the main panel. No clear cartouche enclosure is visible, and no readable Latin/Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present. The back/attachment elements and any pierced suspension hole are not visible in this view. Overall condition appears intact but with some surface wear and dark patination in recessed areas.
