Description

A dark, glossy scarab in stone with a broad oval body fills the frame, seen from above on a pale card mount. The head edge at the top shows a serrated outline, and a raised arc crosses the upper back. A central ridge line runs down the lower body, and small pale flecks mark the surface.
