Description

Three ink line drawings on mounted white cards show one scarab seal from several sides. On the left, the back is drawn with a rounded head, a horizontal band across the wing cases and a central dividing line. At top right, a side profile shows the curved back, and below it the flat base carries an oval outline with dark incised marks in two groups.
