Description

Ink drawing of a scarab seal in three views on a white card, with a number label beneath. At the top is a side profile of the domed back above a flat base line. The lower left shows the beetle back with head, wing cases and a central seam, and the lower right shows the flat base within an oval outline, with incised signs: a branching plant-like sign, a disc, a row of short strokes, a seated figure and a tall sign.
