Fragment of Scarab Inscribed for Seti I
Unknown
ca. 1294–1279 B.C. · Glazed steatite · Egyptian Art
The underside of this scarab bears an inscription in four horizontal lines enumerating the royal titles, names and epithets of pharaoh Seti I (Dynasty 19, ca. 1294-1279 B.C.). The god Ptah is invoked in an inscription in the upper register, flanked by a pair of large wings. This is an elaborate version of a composition found on several scarabs of the Ramesside Period (Dynasty 19-20).
