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.

An oval scarab seal carved in low relief with an enclosing cartouche-like frame and internal hieroglyphs, shown photographed on a light background.

The image shows a single, vertically oriented oval scarab with a polished, yellow-brown/grey surface consistent with a stone seal. The face bears a bordered cartouche or oval frame containing multiple incised hieroglyphic signs. The signs include a rectangular panel with a central motif and surrounding lines, though the individual sign identities and any specific royal name are not fully legible at this resolution. No clear icon of a deity (e.g., a god figure or animal form) is visible beyond the hieroglyphic inscription intended for a royal throne name. The reverse/underside is not shown. The inscription appears to be the primary decorative element; no Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is visible.
