Title
Scarab with Name of Sa-nebet-Junet
Description
English: This scarab is inscribed on the flat underside with vertically arranged column writing. The inscription identifies an individual, Sa-nebet-Junet and makes a statement of the individual's social status. The top is incised with a very detailed, deeply incised design with regular line flow. The workmanship is slightly rough and the piece is not very carefully made.

The scarab functioned as a private name seal and as a user-individualized amulet. It wsa originally mounted or threaded. Teh amulet should assure constancy of individual existence and social status, as well as renewal.

The combination of frame lines with 'C'-shaped elements is less common than 'S' and 'Z'-shaped spiral scroll enclosures.
