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.

Small green-blue glazed scarab with an oval form and recessed inscription/pictorial field on top.

The image shows a single scarab-shaped amulet viewed from above, with a rounded oval back and a recessed rectangular panel on the dorsal surface. The panel contains dark, incised hieroglyphic forms that appear symmetrical and bordered by vertical elements; the exact individual signs are not fully legible at this resolution. The glaze is turquoise/green with areas of wear and speckling, and the surrounding border suggests a molded or engraved frame around the central text area. No legs, wing covers, or separate underside details are visible because the object is photographed only from the dorsal side. There is no visible Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text. No clear deity figures or complete royal titulary/correct cartouche is legible enough to confidently extract the Throne Name of Thutmose I.
