Information

Steatite scarab seal with details of the head on the back, and flat base inscribed with the name of Amun-Ra. Pierced through the length for suspension. Damaged on each side of the perforation hole. This may be from John Garstang's 1900 season for the Egyptian Research Account, or his later excavations between 1906 and 1909 for the University of Liverpool. The catalogue card dates this object to the 12th Dynasty, Middle Kingdom (?).
