Gabbro heart scarab. The base is uninscribed and has 6 legs depicted, resulting in an uneven surface. The inclusion of legs underneath the beetle rather than at the side of the body was a development that occurred in the Late Period. There are traces of resin on the surface. The sticker is a reference to a previous collection.
