Vertical composition with hieroglyphs surrounded by a border consisting of three pairs of oval spirals: the dung beetle “kheper” beneath a pair of arms “kA”. Below two “nfr” signs. Similar designs appear on late Middle Empire scarabs and on Canaanite scarabs from the Middle Bronze Age II. The shape of the “kA” sign and the morphology of the scarab point to Canaanite production (ca. 1700-1640).
