Description: | ; Classification(s): scarab, heart scarab, carved; Acquisition: bequeathed by Greg, Sir Robert, 1954 [E.711.1954]
Description: Gabbro heart scarab. The base is uninscribed and has 6 legs depicted, resulting in an uneven surface. The inclusion of legs underneath the beetle rather than at the side of the body was a development that occurred in the Late Period. There are traces of resin on the surface. The sticker is a reference to a previous collection. | 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 |
