Scarab of Thutmosis III
Description

Two worshippers kneel on both sides of an oval shape with the name of Thutmosis III (“Mn-Khpr-Ra” with an added “n”). Above, a large scarab between two winged uraei (or falcons?) and below the hieroglyph for gold, “nbw”. The morphology of the scarab seal, in particular the hollowed-out sides, points to a date between the 19th and 26th dynasty. This is not exceptional for scarabs with the name of Thutmosis III, who was worshipped for centuries after his death and whose name appeared on scarabs until the Late Period.
