Description

The back of this plaque bears the throne name of Thutmosis III, Menkheperra, placed in a cartouche crowned with two ostrich feathers. A rope surrounds the inscription. The base shows two crocodiles. Seal amulets with such designs date from the Ramessid Period (19th -20th dynasty) or even the 21st dynasty. This pharaoh was posthumously deified and his name remained in use on seal amulets long after his reign.
