Description

Three pen drawings are pasted on white card mounts against a cream background. On the left, a scarab-shaped seal is shown from above with a rounded head, wing cases and a central line down the back, beside a handwritten number label. At top right, a side profile shows the flat base and curved back, and below it the flat base is drawn as an oval with a double outline, a central vertical panel of signs and four symmetrical motifs on either side.
