A 13th century BCE (Late Bronze period) soapstone (steatite) Egyptian scarab. Pictured is an Egyptian deity (possibly Sekhmet) wielding a staff, beside hieroglyphs. This specific amulet was fastened onto a ring (note the remnants of a bronze clasp). This is one of many scarab amulets that have been found in the sifting, with various forms of Egyptian imagery and characters.
