Description

A line drawing mounted on a card shows three views of a scarab seal: a side profile with horizontal bands at the top, the back of an oval scarab with a raised head-like motif at bottom left, and the flat base with a double oval border and signs in columns at bottom right. A handwritten label runs along the bottom edge of the card.
