Scarab Ring Bezel |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: Sheet gold neatly molded across the back and around the edges of a lapis lazuli scarab, forms the surface into which finely detailed hieroglyphs are chased. A ring of sheet gold was added around the perforations at either end. The inscription reads "Chiefs of The Priestly Guild of Horus" which suggests that the ring was a mark of professional status. |
