Scarab Inscribed with the Name Sehetepibre

Second Intermediate Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 109

This scarab is inscribed with a large cartouche containing the name Sehetepibre, the prenomen of Amenemhat I (Dynasty 12). However, royal name scarabs were not yet manufactured during his reign so this scarab dates to the Second Intermediate Period and may commemorate Amenemhat I. Alternatively, it could hold the prenomen of a hitherto unknown Second Intermediate Period ruler.
