Scarab

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a scarab by an unknown artist. The object is a small, oval-shaped stone carving resembling a beetle. The stone is primarily beige with brown and black veins. The beetle's body features a vertical line down the center and horizontal lines across the middle, with additional carved details on the sides and top. The top of the beetle has two protruding elements that could represent the beetle's head and thorax. The background transitions from black at the top to gray at the bottom, suggesting the object is on a surface with a shadow underneath.
