A small oval scarab seal with a greenish glazed surface, shown from the back/underside with an incised design resembling a throne and figure-like hieroglyphic elements within a border.
The image shows an oval, flat scarab with a mottled green glaze over a darker core. A raised outer border encircles the central field. In the center there is an incised/relief grouping that resembles hieroglyphic signs or a throne-like arrangement, with vertical and block-like forms and small protrusions; the exact signs are not fully legible at this resolution. No clear cartouche frame is visible. The overall object appearance matches the format of an inscribed royal scarab, but the specific throne name for Thutmose I cannot be confidently read from the provided image.
