Scarab with head and wings marked with an incised line. The back is clearly separated from the base. On the base are incised four hieroglyphic signs (ancient Egyptian writing, so-called “sacred signs”), which can be read as Amon Re (main Egyptian god, identified with the sun and the forces of nature) and the nfr sign (inscribed with three hieroglyphic signs, meaning good luck). Pierced longitudinally.
