Green/blue glazed steatite scarab seal decorated on one side with details of the head and legs. The other side is inscribed with a standing figure surmounted by a sun-disc with snake head and tail, and a uraeus. Pierced through the length for suspension. Surface is quite dirty. Slightly damaged in places.

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