A round scaraboid made of faience and with a plain, highly convex back. The underside shows a cross-form pattern, with mirror image scrolls emerging from a central boss. Scarabs were produced in vast numbers for many centuries, and many thousands have survived. They were generally intended to be worn or carried by the living.

Gustave Mustaki was an avid collector in the early 20th century, and his collection came to the UK under Egyptian licence in 1947. Many of his pieces are in major museums worldwide, including the British Museum, the Getty Museum, and the Egyptian State Museum. We have purchased over 1700 scarabs from this collection.
