A small oval scarab-shaped amulet with a glazed dark turquoise/green surface, showing an incised scene of a seated/facing figure and two animals or attendants in a band across the face.

The image shows a single small, oval scarab amulet viewed from above (the backplate/carapace is implied by the face-up orientation). The surface is glazed and dark turquoise/green with lighter wear and darker brown/black lines forming the decoration. Across the center is an incised motif: a central human-like figure (or deity-like figure) in a seated or standing pose, with two symmetrical elements on either side that resemble animals or attendant figures. Vertical incised strokes appear near the right side of the composition, possibly indicating feathers, rank ornament, or stylized symbols, but the exact sign forms are not clear enough to securely identify. No clearly readable hieroglyphic text, cartouche, or separate inscription lines are visible in the supplied photo. The object appears intact but with some surface wear consistent with age and handling.
