Description: Frit heart scarab covered with fragments of lapis lazuli. There is a gold inscribed base with name of Amenhotep III; however, this is modern. It is not certain whether any of this scarab is ancient. The lapis segments on the back of the scarab appear to be modern; however, the base which is comprised of a frit also known as Egyptian Blue may be original. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | scarab heart scarab | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
