Description
Small, rounded, light brown object in the shape of a scarab beetle. The top is incised with shell and head details, and the bottom is flat with incised hieroglyphs; all incisions are slightly darker. There is a hole lengthwise from the head to the rear. It is possible it was a bead, but could have been a seal as well due to the hieroglyphs on bottom
