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.

Oval scarab-shaped seal with an incised design on the front, shown in greenish/gray stone with dark and lighter painted or glazed surface details.

The image shows a small, oval scarab or scarab-seal form photographed against a plain light background. The front surface contains a vertical, cobra-like or feathered motif (green-tinted) with adjacent dark marks and a central sign cluster that may represent hieroglyphs, but the individual signs are not clear enough to read confidently at this resolution. The object appears to have a greenish glaze or mineral coating over a lighter substrate, with darker outline/incision and some mottled green/brown areas consistent with fired glaze or mineral staining. No reverse side is visible. No legible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. A specific royal cartouche for Thutmose I’s throne name cannot be read reliably from the provided image.
