Scarab with crude decoration on the base. Professor Newberry consdiered it to be a forgery, but the scarab is good workmanship and perhaps the incised decoration is a later addition. Compare with M14408 and M14411. Pierced through the length for suspension. Broken on the base.


Note on the Gatty Slip "A forgery ( W. M. F. Petrie)".
