On the flat surface: in the center, the royal cartouche with the name of Pharaoh Shabaka, the cartouche is surrounded by the uraeus of Lower and Upper Egypt, surmounted by the Pharaonic epithet “King of the Upper and Lower Egypt” (“king of the reed” and “king of the bee”) and by the title “the son of Ra”. On the lower section, the sign of Neb (damaged) which means “lord”. This specimen refers to the Nubian region (Sudan – Jabal Barkal) and exactly to the XXV Dynasty (716-702 B.C.). The scaraboid probably belonged to the Pharaoh Shabaka or to a dignitary of imperial rank. The stone has a small through-hole. Traces of burning, exposure to heat and wear. The faience layer is vanished by the flat surface, but it is crystallized on the recesses. References: K.A. Kitchen, The Third Intermediate Period in Egypt, Warminster 1986, pp. 378-383, P.E.
