Steatite scarab seal decorated on one side with details of the wings, head and legs. The other side is flat and inscribed with three poorly carved hieroglyphs that form the name Menkheperre (mn-xpr-ra), the throne name of Thutmose III which means "the Established One of the Manifestation of Ra". He was venerated after his death so that his name continued to appear on scarabs long after his reign. It is pierced through the length for suspension.


CONDITION NOTE 1998: Discolouration, surface dirt.
