Frit heart scarab covered with fragments of lapis lazuli. There is a gold inscribed base with name of Amenhotep III; however, this is modern. It is not certain whether any of this scarab is ancient. The lapis segments on the back of the scarab appear to be modern; however, the base which is comprised of a frit also known as Egyptian Blue may be original.
