New Kingdom The inscription on the base of this scarab reads: God's Wife, Hatshepsut. In the late Seventeenth early Eighteenth Dynasties, the title God's Wife was held by the principal queen or the queen mother. Hatshepsut inherited the title while she served as principal queen of her half-brother, Thutmose II. Later, shortly after she took on the titles of king, Hatshepsut passed the title on to her daughter, Neferure (see scarab 27.3.325).Slight variations of the same inscription may be found on two other scarabs (27.3.185, 27.3.187) and a cowroid seal amulet (27.3.191). Although the hieroglyphs are not in exactly the same configuration, they have been carved in a similar fashion. For example, the seated figure leans back and both of her arms are indicated. For different versions of the same inscription, see 27.3.174-27.3.184, 27.3.188-27.3.190.. Scarab Inscribed for the God's Wife Hatshepsut. ca. 1479-1458 B.C.. SteatScarab with a Representation of Seth-Baal and Uraeus ca. 1295-1070 B.C. New Kingdom The ancient Egyptians adored the dung beetle as a symbol of the daily passage of the sun, as it pushed the dung ball forward it mirrored the sun disk moving across the sky. From the First Intermediate Period to the Late Period, the scarab was a popular shape for small amulets and stamp seals as a symbol for creation and resurrection. Already in the early 2nd millennium B.C., Egyptian scarab seals spread to the Levant and Crete and soon local imitations began to appear.On the underside of this scarab, an aroused cobra (uraeus) is placed in front of a figure of the god Seth-Baal, identified by his outstretched wing, long ears and snout. Above him is a sun disk. Such representations were very popular on stamp seals during the late New Kingdom, when Seth became a kind of patron deity of the kings of the Ramesside dynasties (Dynasty 19-20, ca. 1295-1070 B.C.). Seth was closely identified with the Near EasterScarab of Ramesses II ca. 1295-1070 B.C. New Kingdom, Ramesside. Scarab of Ramesses II 550324Scarab: Floral Motif. Egyptian. Date: 1650 BC-1295 BC.

Author: Ancient Egyptian.Ring Inscribed with the Throne Name of Amenhotep III ca. 1390-1352 B.C. New Kingdom Amenhotep III ruled for almost four decades near the end of Dynasty 18 in the New Kingdom. He was the father of Akhenaten (sometimes referred to as the heretic king), and probably the grandfather of Tutankhamun. During Amenhotep's thirtieth year on the throne, he celebrated a rejuvination festival called the heb sed, which was repeated twice more before his death sometime in year 38 of his reign. As part of the celebration, thousands of rings were made of Egyptian faience, a ceramic material made of quartz frit that was mixed into a paste, pressed into molds, and fired. Dozens of complete rings, and many thousands of fragments, were uncovered during the Museum's excavations at the site of Malqata where the festivals took place.The majority of the rings found at Malqata were colored with a turquoise blue glaze, but others were dark blue, green, red, yellow, or a combination of colors.. Ring Inscribed witScarab Inscribed for the God's Wife Hatshepsut ca. 1479-1458 B.C. New Kingdom This scarab was found in a foundation deposit associated with Hatshepsut's funerary temple at Deir el-Bahri. The base is inscribed with her personal name, Hatshepsut ("foremost of noblewomen") linked with the title God's Wife. Hatshepsut inherited the title while she served as principal queen of her half-brother, Thutmose II. Later in her life, after taking on the titles of King, Hatshepsut passed the title to her daughter, Neferure (see scarab 27.3.326)..

Author: Ancient Egyptian.Scarab of an Official ca. 1850-1640 B.C. Middle Kingdom Administrative changes during Dynasty 12 lead to an increase in bureaucracy and, subsequently, in the production and use of seals. This is reflected in the beginning of the mass production of scarabs, the most popular shape for amulets, in late Dynasty 12 through Dynasty 13 (ca. 1850-1640 B.C.). Thousands of these late Middle Kingdom scarabs bear the names and titles of officials, who would wear them as amulets, but who could also use them to seal documents, containers or doors. However, the scarabs primary function remained that of a protective amulet. Several inscriptions add a funerary epithet to the owners name, indicating that the amulet was manufactured after the owner had passed away. Even though half of the scarab has broken off, the name and title of a scribe named Pesesh can still be read. The inscription is set inside a decorative border of interlocking scrolls..

New Kingdom This scarab is inscribed on the base with the throne name of Thutmose III, Menkheperre. Another scarab with this king's name is part of a necklace found in a private house at Malqata. The necklace also has two amulets inscribed with the throne name of Amenhotep III, Nebmaatre.. Scarab Inscribed with the Throne Name of Thutmose III. ca. 1390-1353 B.C.. Faience. New Kingdom.

Date: ca. 1492-1479 B.C..This cowrie-shaped amulet is inscribed on the base with the name, Aakheperenre. this is the throne name of Hatshepsut's husband, Thutmose II. It was found inside a khol jar which had been placed in the coffin of an unnamed woman that was in the tomb of Hatnefer (see 36.3.1). Five other cowroids were found in the kohl pot including two with the same inscription as this one. It is likely that the woman died during reign of this king and that the kohl jar and cowroids were part of her original burial equipment. Three of the other amulets are in the Museum's collection (26.3.20, .23, .24) and two are in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo.

Middle Kingdom Scrolls and spirals -whether single or interlocking, or in combination with hieroglyphs or floral motifs- already decorate the earliest types of scarabs and are common throughout the first half of the second millennium B.C. While their meaning and source of inspiration remains unknown, scroll designs are also appealing to the eye. A wide variety of combinations, some of which more complex than others, is found on Egyptian scarabs of the Middle Kingdom and scrolls become particularly popular during late Dynasty 12 and Dynasty 13 (ca. 1850-1640 B.C.). While these designs continue to appear on scarabs in the Second Intermediate Period (ca. 1640-1550 B.C.) and on contemporary Canaanite imitations, details in the composition or on the scarabs back or its legs allow the seal-amulet to be more precisely dated.

New Kingdom The ancient Egyptians adored the dung beetle as a symbol of the daily passage of the sun, as it pushed the dung ball forward it mirrored the sun disk moving across the sky. From the First Intermediate Period to the Late Period, the scarab was a popular shape for small amulets and stamp seals as a symbol for creation and resurrection. Already in the early 2ndmillennium BC, Egyptian scarab seals spread to the Levant and Crete and soon local imitations began to appear.Seth-Baal is a winged deity that appears on scarabs in the late New Kingdom (ca. 1295-1070 B.C.). When the Near Eastern storm god Baal was introduced in Egypt at the end of the Middle Kingdom, he was identified with the Egyptian god of chaos (and bad weather), Seth. On this scarab, Seth-Baal spreads both his wings wide open. He wears a horned conical headdress with long streamer at the back, and he displays a very prominent pointed beard. The deity staNear East.

Similar objects were included in the foundation deposits of tombs and royal mortuary temples of Dynasty 18. This example is probably one of two that were uncovered by Howard Carter in 1921 when he was excavating in a cul-de-sac at the southern end of the Valley of the Kings. The entrance of the tomb of Thutmose III (KV 34) lies in a crevice above and periodic rains from the high desert plateau drain down the cliffs, through the crevice, and into the cul-de sac. It is possible that foudation deposits at entrance of KV 34 were dislodged during one of these rains and deposited in the cul-de-sac where they became buried in debris. The inscription, which includes the king's throne name, reads "The Good God Menkheperre, beloved of Osiris.". Ritual Object Carved in the Shape of a Freshwater Mussel. ca. 1479-1425 B.C..

Achaemenid This stamp seal is made of banded brown and white agate. The image, as shown in the modern impression, shows a figure seated on a high-backed chair holding a bowl. The figure wears a long robe and appears to be beardless, suggesting this is a rare image of a Persian woman. An object in front of her may be an incense burner, fire altar or table.Drinking scenes appear on a handful of Achaemenid seals and seal impressions. Their appeal likely derives from the high status they imply, since elite Persians would be invited to dine with the king. The figure on this seal sits in high-backed chair that closely resembles the Persian king’s throne as depicted on the Apadana at Persepolis, further insinuating a royal connection..
