    "description": "This steatite scarab has a flat underside with a horizontally arranged design with three script signs, two repeated. The design of the back is simple with slightly unbalanced proportions. The workmanship of the piece is good and it is simply made. This amulet has a recreative and /or good luck connotation; the duplication of the signs should strengthen the effect. The third sign is either a fill character, or refers to the all-inclusiveness of 'perfect existence.' The scarab originally would have been mounted or threaded. The combination of signs on the bottom of this scarab is not common.",
