A turquoise-blue faience scarab seal with an incised design on its top surface, featuring a central motif and surrounding border elements.

The image shows a single oval scarab made of turquoise-blue faience. The dorsal surface has a raised/outlined central figure in dark incised lines, with a small circular element at the upper area and additional small marks near the lower sides; the overall layout suggests an inscribed or iconographic field typical of scarab seals. A thin raised border outlines the scarab’s edge. No clear cartouche is legible at this resolution, and individual hieroglyph signs cannot be confidently identified. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. The surface shows speckling consistent with glazed faience, with minor wear/spotty loss along the edges and in the incised areas.
