Scarab Inscribed for Sebekhotep VI (?)

Middle Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 109

Scarab-shaped seal-amulet inscribed with a cartouche enclosing signs that could be the prenomen of Sebekhotep VI, or, more likely, a formulaic expression associated with the cult of the sun god, Re. This is flanked on either side by stylized papyrus plants.
