Description

A photograph of a scarab-shaped object, seen from a raised side angle, with a domed back marked by ridged segments and a central cleft. The surface is worn and textured, and a band of incised detail runs along the lower part. The print sits on a pale card with a narrow border, and a sliver of another photograph shows at the bottom edge.
