The scarab is mounted on a thin bronze wire-ring which is wound together at the front suspension hole of the scarab, causing some damage to the head. The head is extremely well carved, and the elytra bear an unusual V-shaped pattern, where the lines are cut with a succession of small notches, and ending in a small trefoil. The seal-side is decorated with a four-blossomed lotus shown as a cross with one flower in each direction. The hieroglyphic sign \u003cem\u003enefer\u003c\/em\u003e (beautiful) is carved in each of the four spaces between the arms on the cross, in opposing directions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intact besides some chips to scarab, bronze corroded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 1\/16 inches (2.7 cm), scarab length: 7\/8 inch (2.2 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e From a collection of Levantine scarabs bought in Israel over the years and later acquired \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003efrom the London trade in 1994, thereafter private collection of Geoffrey Metz, Egyptologist collection number: M428.","brand":"Lauritz auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40552130838572,"sku":"EJ1629","price":2869.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/3933\/4188\/products\/EJ1629_5.jpg?v=1659507781","url":"https:\/\/qrack-shop.myshopify.com\/en-au\/products\/ej1629","provider":"qrack shop ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
