Heart scarab with human head: a heart scarab in opaque lapis-lazuli-blue glass, moulded and without inscription. While the head with its lappet headdress was formed in the mould, all its details were incised later in an unusually crude manner. The hands, which are represented clenched and crossed, were also incised on the front surface.
