Description

Scarabs of this type have the seal of the administration of the Theban necropolis on their base. The inscription shows a recumbent jackal (Anubis) and nine prisoners, their hands tied to their back (also E.3223). Such scarabs appeared around the late 18th dynasty. The morphology of the scarab suggests a date around the 25th dynasty, though it may be a modern copy.
