Scarab by artist unknown. Small, oval-shaped object made of stone or ceramic material with a predominantly green color. The object has a beetle-like shape with a rounded top and a flat bottom. Two small protrusions on top resemble the beetle's head. A large patch of turquoise green on the front. The surface shows signs of aging with brown spots and discoloration. The object sits on a grey surface with a darker grey background that gradually lightens towards the center.
