Description

A scarab-shaped seal shown enlarged against a pale background. The flat base carries a dark curved mark near the top, horizontal lines across the middle and a lower curved line, and the outline of the body is clear with a raised rim. The surface looks soft and grainy, and the print is mounted on a card with handwriting along its lower edge.
