A blue lapis-lazuli scarab-shaped amulet shown from the front with incised figure and vertical column of hieroglyphic-style marks on the body.
The image shows an oval scarab amulet made of a deep blue material consistent with lapis lazuli, photographed against a light background. The scarab’s body surface has incised/depressed areas that form a dense arrangement of dark-blue/black lines, including what appears to be a vertical inscription column or clustered hieroglyphic signs. Several grouped marks along the left side resemble hieroglyph-like strokes and curves, while a central band shows additional carved lines forming a figure or emblem-like motif (exact identification not fully legible at this resolution). No cartouche boundaries are clearly visible, and no readable royal titulary can be confidently transcribed.
