description

Summary

This steatite scarab has a flat underside inscribed with the throne name of Thutmosis III (1479-1425 BC) and a sphinx trampling on an enemy. The scarab has a high back with a very detailed design of deeply incised lines. The design of the bottom is rough and poorly made, but the top is more elaborate.
This piece functioned as a individualized amulet, and was originally mounted or threaded. The amulet should secure the royal authority and divine power for the king, and provide a private owner with his royal patronage and protection.
