An oval scarab made of dark stone with a raised, incised design and hieroglyphic inscription on its face.

The image shows a single scarab-shaped amulet photographed against a light background. The back or face contains a carved/inked motif: at left a seated or standing figure-like form with arms out, and at center a vertical element resembling a column of hieroglyphs. To the right are additional rounded/spiral-like signs and a small circular dot motif near the lower right. A band of incised lines and borders frames parts of the inscription. No clear cartouche framing is visible, and no readable royal name is confidently identifiable from the image resolution. No Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible. The material surface appears matte with mottled coloration consistent with stone; a glossy glazed appearance is not clearly discernible from this single view.
