Description

Two photographs on a grey card mount show the same stone scarab. The upper view shows the dark, rounded back of the object in side profile, with ridged segments and fine cracks. The lower view shows the flat base, with an incised design of radiating lines meeting at a central cross-like motif inside an oval outline.
