Scarab with crude decoation on the base. Professor Newberry consdered it to be a forgery, but the scarab is good workmanship and perhaps the incised decoration is a later addition. Compare with M14406 and M14408. Pierced through the length for suspension.

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