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 seal with a central cartouche-like vertical emblem surrounded by radiating, flame-like or feather-like bands, rendered in green and dark blue/black pigment on a dark green-brown base.

The image shows a handheld, oval scarab amulet photographed from the front. A darkly colored scarab field is bordered by a thin rim. Inside, a central rectangular cartouche-like panel encloses a stylized throne/arch motif or insignia, with signs rendered in green-blue pigment. Around the central panel are multiple symmetrical, radiating motifs resembling flames, feathers, or protective “wings,” filling the remaining space. The object surface has a mottled, green patina with areas of heavier residue; chipping or wear appears along the edges. No clear separate imagery of a deity figure is visible beyond the throne/royal iconography. The catalogue’s claimed throne name of Thutmose I is not clearly legible in this image; individual hieroglyphs are too unclear to transcribe reliably.
