A small oval scarab seal with a raised central motif on the back, photographed against a plain light background.

The artifact appears as an oval scarab with a rounded body and a raised design centered on the back. The central iconography looks like a seated or standing figure-like form framed by smaller raised elements, surrounded by a thin rim. The surface shows a dark green to brown coloration with evidence of glazing or fired surface treatment: pooled darker areas around the recessed details and a lighter tan/gold tone on raised parts. No clearly legible hieroglyphic signs or a cartouche are visible in this image at the provided resolution; the impression may be present but is not readable. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The visible rim and overall coloration are consistent with a glazed steatite scarab, but the throne name inscription of Thutmose I cannot be confirmed from the provided view.
