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 inscribed in black on a light brown/greenish surface, showing a central deity-like figure with outstretched arms and wing-like elements, flanked by raised vertical and register-like motifs.

The image shows a single oval scarab (likely a signet/seal) viewed front-on. Around the field is a rounded border. In the central register, there is a symmetrical motif: a deity-like standing figure with a Uraeus-like element on the head, arms raised or extended, and a pair of wing-like forms on either side. Beneath/around the central figure are horizontal base lines and small grouped marks. At the lower left and lower right there are additional blocky/triangular and ladder-like hieroglyphic strokes consistent with Egyptian sign groupings, though the exact sign readings are unclear at this resolution. No clear cartouche enclosure is visible. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is present. The visible inscription appears to be Egyptian hieroglyphic-style black lines rather than legible modern text; exact inscription excerpt cannot be reliably reconstructed.
