| Description |
English: Oval plaques with images of humans or animals instead of a scarab beetle are named "scaraboid." This small example shows a female (?) dwarf executed in high relief. The bottom inscription has the name of the god Amun-Re enclosed by the stems of two lotus plants with buds. The amulet should provide its owner with magic protection and the regenerative support of Amun-Re. |
