Egypt, Middle to New Kingdom, ca. 2050 to 1069 BCE. A group of six earthtone scarabs, carved from a soft stone known as steatite, etched with hieroglyphic inscriptions, and drilled lengthwise through each body.

Two additional scarabs have hieroglyphs pertaining to protection, good health, and good fortune. One scarab features a seated man above the image of an owl, which represents wisdom and intellect. The last scarab has a purely-aesthetic floral design. Size of largest: 0.825" L (2.1 cm).
