New Kingdom, 18th Dynasty, reign of Thutmose III or later post-Amarna/Saite commemorative issue, ca. 1479–525 B.C.

A finely carved dorsal beetle with notched clypeus, scored elytra, and side legs. The flat underside is deeply incised in intaglio with a symmetrical composition centered around two identical cartouches bearing the throne name of Thutmose III, Menkheperre ("The manifestation of Ra is established"). Flanking the cartouches are protective winged solar motifs—a winged emblem at the top and a spreading winged falcon/vulture below—framing a central protective ankh emblem. Intact and pierced longitudinally for suspension, the scarab displays an attractive, time-softened patina with earthen deposits highlighting the intricate glyphs.

Size 17.1mm x 12.8mm. Provenance: New York City collection, acquired from Tarshish Gallery, Jerusalem, Israel, 1980s.
