Gold Scarab

One of a set of four similar gold scarabs. This scarab, which may be a pair with 2012.1.21, has a convex back with two small raised dots for eyes, a horizontal register of three thin lines, with the rest of the body covered by thin vertical lines to indicate the wings. The concave underside is plain. The remains of a tang for suspension or clasping may be visible at the top of the scarab. This scarab is dented and slightly discolored on the exterior.
