Scarab
New Kingdom
Twenty-three scarabs and seal-amulets and numerous loose beads were found scattered between the knees and right hand of the mummy of a young woman buried in Hatnefer's tomb. All of these amulets had been strung on linen cord. Some may have been worn as rings, others may have been strung together with the beads to form one or more bracelets.
This scarab is inscribed on the back with an heraldic design that may be a stylized representation of two red crowns (the crown of Lower Egypt). Other scarabs and seal-amulets from this group include 36.3.28, 36.3..31–.37, 36.3.39–.41, 36.3.43–.48.
