The underside depicts a recumbent sphinx with beard, a horizontal separator and a scarab. This scarab dates from the Middle Kingdom and is most likely a representation of a Scarabaeus. Scarabs were produced in vast numbers for many centuries and many thousands have survived. They were generally intended to be worn or carried by the living.</p><p>This scarab is from the Gustave Mustaki collection. Mustaki amassed a collection of antiquities from Alexandria in Egypt.
