Description

Three line drawings on a pale card show one scarab. At the top, the scarab is seen from the side, with a domed back and horizontal bands below. At lower left, its back is drawn as a smooth oval with ridged lines at the top, and at lower right its flat base is engraved with a loop-like shape, a column of short hatched strokes and angular marks.
