Title |
Scarab with Unification Image |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This steatite scarab has a flat underside with a vertically arranged bottom design combining the 'unification of the Two Lands' icon with a basket. The design of the scarab's back is simple, with unbalanced proportions and heavy extremities. The piece is simply made and the workmanship is slightly rough.
This scarab functioned as a funerary amulet, and should secure for its owner renewal and royal protection. It would have originally been mounted or threaded. |
