Cylinder seal with the Horus name of Amenemhat VII
This cylinder seal of glazed steatite bears the name Horteptawy within a serekh (a rectangle bordered at the bottom by a desisign imitating the niched wall of a palace). The Horus falcon above the serekh identifies this as a "Horus name"; this is one of the names of Amenemhat VII, who ruled during Dynasty 13.
