Description

A dark, glossy scarab-shaped seal lies at the top of the card, with incised lines marking its wing cases and a central ridge on its back. Below it, an oval seal impression is shown in a bluish-tinted photograph, with a raised design of curved strokes, short lines and a rounded element at the lower right. Both objects are shown on a pale grey card mount.
