Scarab Inscribed with Blessing Related to Re or Re-Harakhty

Third Intermediate Period or later
ca. 1080–525 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 130
The base of this faience scarab shows the hes-vase, the sign for praise. The falcon underneath a sun disk refers to the sun god Re or Re-Harakhty. This combination probably is to be understood as a blessing related to the falcon god.
