Description

Pen drawings of a scarab seal mounted on a card: the back of the scarab at left, a side view of its base at top right, and an oval seal face below right. The back shows a head ridge and wing-case lines; the seal face shows a bird-like figure, a kneeling figure and a round object inside a double border. A handwritten number label lies along the bottom edge.
