Unfinished Ring with Flat Bead
One side of the bead bears a detailed carving of an owl, a hieroglyph that has the same sound value as the English "m." The other side shows a victorious pharaoh raising his weapon to dispatch a cowering enemy. The plaque was probably created in the 18th or 19th Dynasty.
